Port change from free version? #30

Closed BlackoutZero closed 11 years ago

BlackoutZero commented 11 years ago

I successfully used the free version when it was release. The paid version however seems to be unable to add a city when I'm on my home network, the loading icon just spins and spins until it times out. If I tether to my phone it instantly adds cities. I have not changed my home network settings since running the free version, did the ports Stormcloud uses change? What ports does Stormcloud use? Thx

It just uses the normal port 80. Are you behind a proxy?

BlackoutZero commented 11 years ago

No I'm not behind a proxy (that I know of). I started playing, first I temporarily dmz'ed my computer in my routers settings (didn't work), then I temporarily disabled my routers SPI firewall setting, success! It must be something about the way the packet traffic flows now and the SPI firewall thinks it's not legitimate traffic. It seems to read the weather just fine for the cities listed with the SPI firewall on but can't add new cities so it must be something to do with the packet traffic for getting/searching for new cities.

Ok. Can you check if these work in your browser:

The first one timed out and the second/third loaded fine, with spi firewall on. With the spi firewall off all three loaded fine, assuming the first one is supposed to be a raw xml feed/file.

Well, I'm really not sure. It uses the exact same api as the free version.

Ok, thanks for looking into it. Stormcloud seems to work fine once you have your cities set though. Anyone else that has a Motorola router or combo cable modem/router turn the spi firewall off temporarily to set your cities.
