testnet not responding

[d-yokoi]

I'm trying to connect to the testnet according to the document but the server does not respond at all. https://developers.ripple.com/xrp-test-net-faucet.html

[NotConnectedError(connect ETIMEDOUT 35.158.96.209:51233, { Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 35.158.96.209:51233
    at Object._errnoException (util.js:1022:11)
    at _exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1044:20)
    at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1198:14)
  code: 'ETIMEDOUT',
  errno: 'ETIMEDOUT',
  syscall: 'connect',
  address: '35.158.96.209',
  port: 51233 })]

I first tried a week ago, and even now the situation does not change.

I can connect to the mainnet (wss://s1.ripple.com:443).

Thanks.

What software are you using to connect to this machine? Rippled is not written in Javascript and I see some *.js files mentioned in your issue...

@MarkusTeufelberger Thank you for your reply.

I'm actually using ripple-lib. https://github.com/ripple/ripple-lib

I am not sure where to report this issue so I'm sorry if it's not appropriate.

Are you using wss://s.altnet.rippletest.net:51233 ?

Feel free to open an issue on the ripple-lib repo

Yes, I'm trying to connect to wss://s.altnet.rippletest.net:51233.

I also tried JSON-RPC(https://s.altnet.rippletest.net:51234) but could not connect to it either.

@d-yokoi Can you share the code that you're using to connect?

Here's a quick example that works for me:

let {RippleAPI} = require('ripple-lib');
let api = new RippleAPI({server: 'wss://s.altnet.rippletest.net:51233'}); 
api.connect().then(() => {
  console.log('connected');
  return api.getServerInfo().then(result => {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
  })
}).catch(console.error);

Also, feel free to open an issue on ripple-lib instead.

Now I find that the problem is in our office network settings.

I can connect to the testnet from my personal computer or virtual machines on AWS.

Anyway, many thanks for your kind advice.
