Test site is back

Wed Jun 24 01:29:34 2026 UTC

Someone recalled there was a test web site inside FEDAnet. The site was running on a machine inside my home network, but for some reasons I had to stop keeping that machine running 24x7. As of now, the site on the same IPv6 address feda:c508:097b:d6c3:47a4:a317:3700:feda runs on one of my VPS machines (I won't tell you on which, heh; anyway, you can't access it from outsite, only from within FEDAnet).

Besides, I got tired copy-pasting that IPv6 address which is, just like all IPv6 addresses, impossible to remember. Hence, now the domain name fedatest.feda.croco.net now resolves to that address. This is not very consistent, as the address is not accessible from the Internet, while the domain name is; however, I still couldnt't find a solution for DNS service inside FEDAnet.

Well, enjoy :-)

Unable to open site

I can not open the site in browser or ping the address.

Re: Unable to open site

I'm not at home now, so I can only check if the site is reachable from the node machine. It is.

Well, fedaserv is not a mature program, so a lot of other problems can occur so that you can't reach the site.

Re: connection refused

Funny, heh. What the hell did you expect? An open text-based TCP port there? FEDAprotocol is UDP-based, so it is a UDP port, connectionless, and the protocol is cryptographic. so hardly you can make any use out of nc here.

Re: Re: connection refused

All right. I wanted to inform you that my node stopped connecting to the node that provided access to fedatest.feda.croco.net. It's like turned off.

You're right. I've just restarted it.

Re: Re: Re: Re: connection refused

fedatest.feda.croco.net ping 100% loss.

feda:c508:97b:d6c3:47a4:a317:3700:feda as well. 100% loss.

feda:c508:97b:d6c3:47a4:a317:feda:feda is okay.

My day starting from ping your nodes=)

Re: connection refused

Yeah, I forgot to make the connection persistent on the machine which serves the point 55 (0x37), so when the node crashed and got restarted later, the point didn't connect to it. Thanks for reporting.

Another test site :)

When 3700:feda stopped working, I found that http://[feda:c508:97b:d6c3:47a4:a317:feda:feda]/ works, so I used it to test if my fedanet instance works. :-D

Re: Another test site :)

Argh, this is unintentional, that Apache instance shouldn't have listened on IPv6 at all. Anyway, this is not THAT interesting, as only confirms connectivity with the node instance, and the node instance is probably connected directly. This is generally not what FEDAnet is about.
