Hi,
I’m located in Belgium ald it seems the Blynk server is down. I keep getting this message when opening the app:
Is this being handled?
Thank you,
Alexander
Working on this!

Now my esps reconnected, but all 3 raspbery PIs and 2 pi zeros still cant connect. Just a feedback
Ok, thank you.
It seems that it’s working again over here.
Alexander
From now on, I’ll check this page first. Didn’t find it this morning where I can check the servers. Thank you!
Alexander
from my view the raspbery pi client still noct working yet (all 5 from my side) but the esp`s are working…
its an endless reconnecting:
Ausgabe des Befehls /usr/bin/blynk-client dXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Shouldn’t you be using port 80 with the latest libraries?
i used this configuration until today when the cloud was down, now i have this issue, so i am not change any… i dont understand what u say, because i just call the client and the response came from the client 
/usr/bin/blynk-client dXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
i dont know how change the port or any, i was thinking that is an fixed code into this client (?)
So do i have update any ?
Can you give me a procedure what i should do for change the port in the client request?
so i have to update the client?
Do you know what i have to do?
thanks for your help
The default hardware ports have been changed for awhile now, as have the the various Blynk client libraries also been updated over time. As Blynk updates (and/or fixes) server issues, newer changes come into play… This may be the cause of your issue 
You appear to be running WiringPi or NodeJS? Perhaps you could just update your client libraries on each RPi as that should account for the new default ports.
Probably.
Save everything you have done and then do what you previously did but with the latest libraries.
Ok i try first update just the libary:
sudo npm install -g blynk-library
than it says i have to update npm and i do too.
but still after running it use the old port 
OMG —
i use node js for blynk…
So is there a way for delete the old blynk installation and than i will make a new installation?
Because i only use the pi as client, i can nothing lose because its only call the client and than i use it via app project…
Yes, take out the existing SD card and put in another one.
haha i still use ssd anyway… so that means i cant use blynk client longer on my installation?
I start the full instalation procedure as you suggest. But i get an error at that point: sudo npm install -g onoff
but after sudo npm install -g blynk-library it says updated
but when i run the client it still connect at 8441 
so is there any oportunity to edit the libary ports byself? maybe i delete some folders? and reinstall it ?
redirect 8441 to 80 ?
Do you have 5 SSD’s for the 5 Pi’s that you are using or do you have more than 5 SSD’s?
I don’t do much Pi / Blynk stuff these days so I’m not going to guess the “upgrade” procedure.
From memory aren’t the ports declared in one of the scripts?
If you have a spare SSD I would start with a fresh install of the latest libraries etc. You can always copy over the projects when you are up an running again.
I have some basics here… assuming the new client install isn’t using the proper port (I use Local Server, so I don’t know) then I guess you could just as easily use the Local Server method, but point right back to the Cloud Server IP (still recommended to use port 8080 anyhow)
blynk client is just for the remot controll of my servers…
for me would be the easyst way with port rules…
so i understand the old port is 8441 and the new is now 9443 ?
Or maybe i can delete the old libary in the folder install it new, because when the new libary has the correct client ports, so it must be in any cache , so if i delete all files and than install new, should be work?
what folder files i can delete any suggestions?
I just wondering that it works until today and now all stop after server down time…
Thanks
What servers? Blynk servers? How do you use a Blynk client application to control a server?
9443 is for the App, not the device… the default port for all client devices is 8080 (although in some cases just the usual 80 will work)
Same problem for me on pi after servers crash. Trying update blynk-library is not working for me too (stiil trying to connect through 8441 port). Kinda dont know what to do now 
I suspect the old ports left you connected until such time as the server was rebooted and now you need the new ports.
I am 99% certain that the ports are in a script and you should be able to edit the script. I don’t know if any other parts of the script have changed in recent months though.
