Webdav backup failed to connect

[ntosme]

I have a local webdav server (running on Nginx), and when I initially configured Breez to use this server, it was able to connect and push the backup DO_NOT_DELETE_Breez_Backup folder and data.

I opened the app again recently and now when I test the backup I just get "Failed to connect with the remote server, please check your settings."

I'm able to open a browser on the same phone and read a file from the webdav root after entering the user:pass. I can also push a file into the webdav root via "curl -T ..." from the command line, so I'm confident that the webdav server is functional.

I've tried the following url formats: http://172.x.x.x/ http://sub.mydomain.com/ (pointing to the above private IP)

Does the app normally try to connect through a socks proxy? I'm confused by the logs.

This is on a de-googled phone running LineageOS.

Hello, try turning off tor and try again. You may do so by:

1. Open side menu
2. Expand preferences
3. Network
4. Toggle tor to be off

[ntosme]

Ah, yes that worked. I forgot that I toggled on tor.

Are webdav backups not supported with tor enabled, or would I need to provide an onion address?

[ubbabeck]

It works as long as your webdav instance is publicly accessible or if it has a hidden service running.

[ntosme]

Ok, makes sense.
