Can you ping your phone?

$ ping 192.168.0.50

--- 192.168.0.50 ping statistics --- 11 packets transmitted, 11 received, 0% packet loss, time 10013ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 42.071/86.258/133.731/26.894 ms

looks like it, with firewall active too

[patri9ck]

Can you show the output when you run a2ln?

Everything looks fine. It used to work, right? Do you remember changing anything in your network configuration or something similar?

[Ao1Pointblank]

no intentional changes to my network, but the IPs of my devices sometimes change when the router has to be reset after a power outage.

the request just never comes through to the server. are the public keys supposed to not match?

[Ao1Pointblank]

wait, i will try deleting all my configs for the server

[patri9ck]

Yes, they do not match. The server as well as the client (your phone) have their own public key.

i'll try with a different phone

[Ao1Pointblank]

nevermind, it isn't compatible with my old phone (android 8)

um i think i figured it out. i had installed portmaster, another firewall tool recently. i thought it was inactive. no system tray icon or processes with that name running. it was still blocking things somehow as a firewall. sorry to waste your time.

[patri9ck]

No problem, you didn't waste my time! Glad to hear that you found the issue!
