connection problem to nodes #26

Closed mjhymowitz closed 3 years ago

mjhymowitz commented 3 years ago

I'm not sure if it is because of my privacy settings or if it is because I use a vpn, but for the last few nights I couldn't connect to pocketnet through the webpage or the desktop app. I can understand the webpage not connecting, but why did the app fail. I should have been able to connect to the node directly and still use pocketnet even when the webpage was down, but instead I got a connection error.

Are there not enough people running nodes? Was there an update to the nodes over the last night few days? I have a Raspberry Pi 4 would it be possible to run a node off my Pi and set my desktop app to default to that node, before attempting a random node?

I haven't changed anything from a few days ago and I can now access pocketnet with the desktop app again.
