+Landlock restricts the child so it can connect only to the Boundary proxy port. Binding/listening on TCP ports is allowed (any port) so local servers inside the jail still work. This means the backend depends on clients honoring proxy environment variables. A client that ignores those variables will generally fail to connect rather than bypass Boundary.
