Failed to connect to Ethereum node: Post "https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/831a5442dc2e4536a9f8dee4ea1707a6": dial tcp: lookup mainnet.infura.io: no such host

That looks to be a network/resolution error on the host side. mainnet.infura.io appears to be present and operating fine.

danimesq commented 3 years ago

@mcdee, this error isn't only in my side: https://archive.is/Er3sv https://archive.is/FuItc

mcdee commented 3 years ago

The URL is to an API endpoint rather than a website.

danimesq commented 3 years ago

@mcdee, then what you suggest to fix this?

mcdee commented 3 years ago

Given this looks like a transient network issue, it should fix itself.

danimesq commented 3 years ago

Ok, now it worked:

But how to avoid these issues happening again? Such as using an fallback Ethereum node?

This wasn't happening before, as Web3Updater used ethereal and its Infura node with reliable stability.

If the infura node is proving unreliable a local geth node can be used instead, or a different service provider. The alternative provider can be specified with the --connection parameter.
