I’m not using certificates… is it necessary?
still I can’t connect… it gives me the same error on the app.
Now I even created the certificates and all… still can’t connect. checked all my router settings and made sure the ports are forwarded to the PC running the server. everything is as it should be… what else can I do? tell me what to post here and I’ll do it… I want this to be up so I can work on some project that I’m trying.
the one in the login screen? with the 3 dots?
but it shows my network ip address… I can send to you i private… I don’t want the entire community to see my ip…
anyways it says the ip I get from “what is your ip address” website. and the port is 8442.
IP adresses are like streetnames and numbers and names. Everyone can see them, but they are pretty much useless until you need to go to a specific adress. Private Ip’s like 192.168.x.x cannot even be routed on the internet so you can give those out without any problems
Instead of using your local WiFi with your phone, have you tried using your cellular connection and connecting to your public IP with that?
And conversely, connecting with the private IP of the server, while the phone is using your WiFi.
If either of those options works, that shows that your server is operational, and that the issue may be router related.
Over the years I have sometimes had issues connecting devices to my public IP whist within my local network… When that happened I always had to revert to local IP while in the network and switch to public IP only when when "roaming’ from home. I often wondered if it was a limitation of the software, router, setup, device or something else, as it wasn’t always an issue.
My current setup is to use my No-IP DNS redirection address (which redirects to my public IP), and it works with Blynk with both WiFi at home and Cellular while out.
ok so for everyone that is reading this!
Thank you GUNNER!
The problem was the stupid antivirus firewall… still trying to figure out how to let the connection pass it… but that is the problem.
Thank you again gunner and thank you all for helping me solve this!
