Hey @chenkaiju thanks the kind words and for submitting your issue. Unfortunately, this 'authentication loop' is a problem that has been appearing for a very long time, and there is no currently known solution to it. It's been discussed in other issues, so feel free to search through for more information. One idea I've found most interesting was using VPN - I'm talking to IBKR about relevance of geolocation right now. The best idea would be for you to highlight the authentication problems with IBKR support so that they're aware of the problems we're facing. Given all that, I'm going to go ahead and close this issue, but thanks for submitting it in either case 👍

hey @chenkaiju - there is a new WIP version v0.5.0 of IBeam that introduces a new login logic, which should help reduce some of the issues we've been struggling with.

Run the most recent voyz/ibeam:0.5.0-rc* tag of v0.5.0 and set IBEAM_AUTHENTICATION_STRATEGY to B.

See #147 for more details and report any observations directly there.

Thanks 🙏
