yay, ran into another shitty Mastodon connection protection thing with no clear to disable/add exceptions (HostAuthorization, it's a ruby/puma thing apparently)
turns out it was sort of my fault, reverse proxy not setting the original Host header, so FediFox proxied it to Mastodon with the FediFox shield listen ip as the Host
but now you can search FediFox Shield rendered/proxied profiles and statuses properly again https://glitch-dev.pixie.town/@alice
