Arcturus on VMWare

[Michell]

Hi!

I am hosting Arcturus with Nitro on Windows using VMWare Workstation Pro. However, I cannot get the websockets working when making the server/website public. According to F12, it cannot connect to the IP + Port.

I tried:

• Opening ports 2096, 3000, 30001
• Changing the WS port to a different port
• Added all ports in the firewall / even disabled firewall entirely

It's working perfectly on localhost. Could this have anything to do with using VMWare? The Network Settings for the VM are on bridged.

Thanks in advance!

Not 100% sure here but would you need to open them on your router as well?

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your response. I am not sure either. The Nitro client instantly drops the connection when entering the client.

It needs to go through a secure connection when not local, change WS to WSS and give it a go, provided your SSL certificate is in your emu config, you should be golden.

Hi Verbid,

Thank you for your message. When hosting it on a IP that has been portforwarded, the SSL shouldn't be a problem, correct?

Not quite sure what your port forwarding has to do with the SSL certificate as they're completely separate services. Port forwarding is essentially allowing access through your routers firewall. An SSL certificate will still be required to access a secure connection, as required by most modern browsers except locally.

Make sure any SSL rules are disabled in Cloudflare so that the server can present the certificate directly. There are lots of free SSL certificate providers out there such as lets encrypt.
