this is a error from my friends computer there is a server side and a client and his computer doesnt seem to be connecting to the server running on the raspberry pi

#

i can paste the error in a pastebin if necessary i had to cut some of it off

I'm not the best at networking, but do you have the appropriate ports forwarded to allow external connections? Do you have the correct IP?

slender garden Feb 28, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

i have the correct ip i think what do u mean appropriate ports forwarded to allow connections

#

im new too

#

haha

#

i do mostly ai work

#

never networking

#

i stay far away from it

vapid remnant Feb 28, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

So, are the computer and pi on the same network?

slender garden Feb 28, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

no my friends computer is out of the netwoek

#

the pi is on my home network

weary mural Feb 28, 2024, 5:23 AM

#

you are going to need to configure your router to map a public port to your rpi on the port 5000

vapid remnant Feb 28, 2024, 5:24 AM

#

So, here are some resources about how to properly deploy your flask app so people outside of your network can access it:

slender garden Feb 28, 2024, 5:25 AM

#

like this

Screenshot_2024-02-28_at_12.23.22_AM.png

#

but what do i put in to it

#

sorry i just have never done networking before

#

haha

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:30 AM

#

slender garden but what do i put in to it

#

assuming that you run python3 endtoendclient.py http://router-public-ip:5000/

slender garden Feb 28, 2024, 5:31 AM

#

do i need a application name

#

and what is the protocal

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:31 AM

#

if you want to get rid of the :5000 and just do http://router-public-ip/then do

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:31 AM

#

slender garden do i need a application name

no, you might even be allowed to leave it blank

#

that's probably just so that you can identify the rule later

slender garden Feb 28, 2024, 5:32 AM

#

so no 5000 in the orignal port?

#

section?

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:32 AM

#

protocol is what type of traffic is going to be going through the port

#

no idea what the schedule dropdown could be

slender garden Feb 28, 2024, 5:32 AM

#

i think its always?

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:32 AM

#

slender garden so no 5000 in the orignal port?

"original port" is the port that clients will use to connect to your app
"fwd to port" is the port that your RPI is listening on (in your code I can see that it's 5000)

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:33 AM

#

slender garden i think its always?

sure, idk why you wouldn't want this rule to always be in effect

#

i don't have a verizon router - that's not a networking option

#

that's a verizon thing

slender garden Feb 28, 2024, 5:34 AM

#

that ok

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:34 AM

#

ember whale "original port" is the port that clients will use to connect to your app "fwd to...

by default, HTTP traffic goes over port 80 (so http://google.com by default sends the data to port 80, but if you wanted to you could do http://google.com:1234 to send the data to port 1234, but google is definitely not listening for connections on that port, so ur not going to get a response)

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:36 AM

#

slender garden that ok

seems reasonable to me, hit save and clients will be able to connect by accessing http://your.public.ip.address:5000/endpoint

#

if you wanna get rid of :5000 then just switch Original Port to 80 (but beware, you're going to get some spam-requests from bots)

slender garden Feb 28, 2024, 5:37 AM

#

still not working

#

immq try orginal port being 80

#

but does that mean code needs to change too?

#

or just connection

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:38 AM

#

just the client

#

the args you're using to start the client

slender garden Feb 28, 2024, 5:38 AM

#

i cant find it in client code

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:39 AM

#

it won't be 192.168.1.70 if the client is on a different network

slender garden Feb 28, 2024, 5:39 AM

#

ohhhhhh what would it be

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:39 AM

#

192.168.x.y is a local area address that only works in the local area network

slender garden Feb 28, 2024, 5:39 AM

#

what would be outside?

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:40 AM

#

if you want to communicate with a computer which is NOT on your local area network, you need to use it's wide area address

#

aka public ip

slender garden Feb 28, 2024, 5:40 AM

#

how i find that i am clueless with all networking im sorry

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:40 AM

#

the easiest way to figure it out is to just go on the rpi and curl ipinfo.me

#

actually curl ifconfig.me

#

forgot the website

slender garden Feb 28, 2024, 5:41 AM

#

its a long string not just 4 sections?

#

not structured like 0.0.0.0

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:42 AM

#

slender garden its a long string not just 4 sections?

does it have colons and hexadecimal

slender garden Feb 28, 2024, 5:42 AM

#

yeea

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:42 AM

#

it's an IPv6 address

#

same thing

slender garden Feb 28, 2024, 5:42 AM

#

how i get v4

#

eaier

#

easier

ember whale Feb 28, 2024, 5:43 AM

#

well if you want a v4 address you'll have to purchase that upgrade from your ISP

#

or build a time machine and travel back to 40 years ago and beg some guys at stanford to PLEASE add a few extra bytes to ipv4

#

otherwise, just use your ipv6 address

#

or buy a domain name to point to that ipv6 address

#

or rent one from a provider like AWS, although I don't think they can hook that up to your home router

#

theoretically you could proxy traffic through one of their machines with ipv4 access

#

all of this is more expensive and more complicated than just using your v6 address

#

which btw, changes every few weeks (unless you purchase a static IP from your ISP, which would likely have been a v4 address, so I doubt that) - so don't plan on hosting this service from your home indefinitely
