I cannot connect to my IRC server outside of localhost. reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GASTRO_GAMING · 2021-07-02 00:59 the TCP port is open (checked with canyouseeme.org) and my conf file is set to 6667. connecting from localhost ip works. outside localhost it times out after saying connecting. does anyone have an idea of what I can check next. ​ using a hybrid ircd, raspberry pi and xfinity btw ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cygfrydd · 2021-07-02 02:08 Check your ircd config and ensure it's binding to 0.0.0.0 and not 127.0.0.1. Also make sure 6667 is open on your Raspi firewall (if you're using one; ufw, for example) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-07-02 02:42 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-07-02 02:55 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GASTRO_GAMING · 2021-07-02 04:25 yes i have, do you have any suggestions for what to do? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kamelnotllama · 2021-07-02 07:20 Without knowing anything else, I'd say your port forwarding is pointing to the wrong host - one that also happens to have port 6667 open (trust me, it's not as unlikely as you think) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GASTRO_GAMING · 2021-07-02 07:33 i selected my raspery pi on the xfinity xFi ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-07-02 07:39 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-07-02 12:15 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2021-07-02 14:03 Last I checked Comcast explicitly blocks you from exposing IRC and some mail protocols. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GASTRO_GAMING · 2021-07-02 15:31 I checked the port with canyouseeme.org, says its fine ---------------------------------------------------------------------- david-at-localhost · 2021-07-02 17:25 Maybe check your firewall settings to allow the ports? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GASTRO_GAMING · 2021-07-02 20:14 Ok ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GASTRO_GAMING · 2021-07-02 23:48 also just tested a diffrent port of the first 4 numbers in eulers number, it ain't that ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GASTRO_GAMING · 2021-07-02 23:49 i tried 2718 it did not work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- alchemistAzzy · 2022-07-10 00:45 did you ever find a fix for this? im having a similar issue and it's driving me insane! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GASTRO_GAMING · 2022-07-10 00:57 Nope i still aint got a fix ---------------------------------------------------------------------- alchemistAzzy · 2022-07-10 01:25 ah thats sucks. i guess we are going insane together then, i cant figure out why it wont work, the irc daemon is litsening to ports 6665-6669, the portforward is set for those ports too, ips are all set, but i cant access the irc on my pc or phone, maybe pi ircs just hate us ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GASTRO_GAMING · 2022-07-10 01:34 You know what, let me try hosting an irc from my webserver to test that theory ---------------------------------------------------------------------- alchemistAzzy · 2022-07-10 01:35 hey thats not a bad idea there, lets us know if were dumb or if a irc on a pi is simply not ment to be ---------------------------------------------------------------------- alchemistAzzy · 2022-08-05 02:13 did you have any luck? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GASTRO_GAMING · 2022-08-05 02:35 Well my webserver crashed before i could do that and i am on summer vacation away from it, remind me in 2 weeks and ill take a shot at it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- alchemistAzzy · 2022-09-14 13:51 heyo, i exist. forgot about it but i just remembered to bring it up again
