I've rather the impression that you are trying to kill too
many birds with one stone :)

And, to be honest, I don't feel like debugging some random script
off github :-)

Why don't you first try to find out whether (a) loopback is working
on your running machine and (b) not all of your available loopback
devices are exhausted?

I think I posted some proposals already here [1].
