Cannot connect to public IP

When creating a workspace, I cannot put in a remote public IP address (EC2) as the RPC Server.

Hi, can you try with adding https:// in front?

• public ip addresses do not work
• however once I bought and installed a DNS name for that IP address it seems to work over http

I tested your IP and it didn't work with https because there is an issue with the certificate. You can check by running this:

curl -k --location --request POST https://44.238.178.98:8545 -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}'

Now, for http, it actually works but you need to change a setting in your browser. Unfortunately for Ethernal (but I guess there is a good reason for that) browsers do not allow loading insecure (http or ws) content on a https page. In order to change that you can follow instructions here: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/target/using/experiences/vec/troubleshoot-composer/mixed-content.html

Once this is done, you should be able to connect your ip over http.
