Not working with PrivateInternetAccess VPN #41

Closed MaffooBristol closed 4 years ago

MaffooBristol commented 4 years ago

Hi,

For some reason it appears that this module times out when I change my location via the PIA VPN.

Hitting https://checkip.amazonaws.com/ directly in my browser is fine however for showing the remote IP.

Just as a note the https://www.npmjs.com/package/external-ip package works with the same VPN, although I don't like having to promisify it so would prefer this module.

Any ideas as to why this could be?

Thanks Matt

Does setting the onlyHttps option to true change anything?

MaffooBristol commented 4 years ago

... yes 😄

This issue is still not fixed! Will try the suggested workaround.
