Cannt connect... Banned?

Post by Valentyn »

Hey there! I have been using the hub for some time now but around 2 weeks ago it stopped working and my shakespeer app (yes i have a mac :P) said it couldnt load the hublist. Today I tried installing Valknut, just like the wiki said and it presented me with a message that my IP is banned :(

so whats going on? can someone please give me advice on fixing this mess? Thanks :)

For a start the not loading hublist is for the most part unimportant as it is physically just a list of possible hubs for you to connect to, and you only want to connect to twofo which you have he address for already. Secondly, is it *still* not working as the hub was down briefly during the afternoon so if you tried connecting then it wouldn't have worked regardless. If it is still not connecting could you copy the exact message you are getting alot with your username and IP and I'll check the banlists

Can you tell what address you are connecting to?
Should be something like localhost:8000 if stunnel is running correctly, which to be honest it sounds like it isn't still.

OK, still sounds like stunnel isn't running properly, or at all. Maybe try going through the setup again as at http://www.twofo.co.uk/wiki/index.php/C ... Shakespeer ?
Failing that, I see no reason why valknut wouldn't work when connecting to hub.twofo.co.uk:4146 with the SSL box ticked (yes it;s a different address to how shakespeer would connect).
