[Dmitriy]

Dear all,

in latest server version some ports were changed.

Admin port : 7443 -> 9443 (merged with HTTPS API); Since 0.23.1.
Plain WebSockets port : 8082 -> 8080 (merged with HTTP API); Since 0.23.0.
SSL WebSockets port : 8081 -> 9443 (merged with HTTPS API); Since 0.23.0.

For what reason we're they changed ?
Ports are not my strong side so I'd love to know!

[Dmitriy]

Simpler setup, quicker start, also we preparing server for future enhancements where only 2 ports will be used 80 and 443 as many users have problems with non default port.

[hutje]

Is it possible to change these ports back?

[Dmitriy]

Yes. You can do port forward.

[hutje]

In the new Blynk server (0.23.1) I can't get in the admin browser. In the previous this was 192.168.1.xxx:7443 and now it supposed to be 9443 but still get unable to connect. While I can still use the app and the HTTP API.

[Dmitriy]

@hutje blocked 9443 port?

[hutje]

No, I didn't block anything. I try to enter 192.168.1.112:9443 but only got unable to connect on my browser... I will try it straight from the pi as localhost.
And my server.properties is:

http.port=2020
allowed.administrator.ips=0.0.0.0/0
allowed.users.list=xxxxxxxxxxx@hotmail.nl, xxxxxxx@hotmail.com

server.ssl.cert=./server.crt
server.ssl.key=./server.pem
server.ssl.key.pass=xxxxxxxxxx

[Dmitriy]

No, I didn't block anything.

Well, It doesn't mean it is not blocked. You need to check that.

allowed.administrator.ips=0.0.0.0/0

Are you trying to access the admin panel from the server machine as that is how you currently have it set up?

[hutje]

This is what I always had. And now I can't access the adminpanel

[Costas]

@hutje I take it from your statement the answer is yes.

[hutje]

So what do I need to change?

[hutje]

Sorry, to be more precise, I normally can connect from any computer in my network to the Blynk admin panel using 192.168.1.112:7443, but now I can't connect from any computer in the network both 7443 or 9443.
I still need to check if I can connect on the Pi itself with localhost. But is it possible I need to change the server.properties?

[Costas]

I still need to check if I can connect on the Pi itself

Report back when you have done that.

is it possible I need to change the server.properties?

Yes.

[Dmitriy]

@hutje what exactly url you are trying to access? Please post it here

[hutje]

Is it possible to only ping this port from the pi itself? Otherwise I need to install a desktop on the RaspPiZero...

[hutje]

@Dmitriy I normally use http://192.168.1.112:7443
Now I tried http://192.168.1.112:9443 but got unable to connect.
I tried https://192.168.1.112:9443 but got warning that site may not be safe, clicked ignore and I was redirected to blynk.cc.
Also when I use http://192.168.1.112:2020 I am redirected to blynk.cc

[Costas]

@hutje you don't need a desktop on the Pi to access the admin panel.

Actually allowed.administrator.ips=0.0.0.0/0 is access for all IP's so that shouldn't be your problem.
