ERROR: sorry, it was not possible to establish a connection to the server

[shom13]

Fresh install, followed instructions to download. After completion when checking status, this is what i am getting: ERROR: sorry, it was not possible to establish a connection to the server.

Found a couple other posts with the same issue but found no relevant solutions, hence creating a new issue.

Same here.

A simple reboot and a couple of tries did it for me. Sorry i forgot to post an update. Sometimes it wont connect at the first attempt. Try a few times with nipe start command, and it connects just fine.

I have been using for a while, and it seems sometimes it wont connect the first time. The only way i can get it to work is by stop command. sudo perl nipe.pl stop followed by a start command sudo perl nipe.pl start. Repeat it for a few times and it should work.

Try a couple of times and it should connect. Check with status. I normally try separately, stop and then start without &&. And just a quick note, if you're already connected to a vpn, chances are it wont connect

Commands after reboot : ( in nipe directory )
sudo perl nipe.pl stop
sudo perl nipe.pl start

it will work fine

through which ports does nipe work? can firewall block nipe connection?

Check if your tor services are installed/running properly. If you're on linux open terminal and code in:
"curl --socks5 localhost:9050 --socks5-hostname localhost:9050 -s https://check.torproject.org/ | cat | grep -m 1 Congratulations | xargs"

If you get an output: Congratulations. This browser is configured to use Tor, try to start nipe again in nipe directory and it should work, else you need to setup tor properly as something could be wrong. Check /etc/tor/torrc directory

Check /etc/tor/torrc directory

the connection error was not corrected. how to set up the tor correctly?

I was able to run nipe after completely removing the tor along with all the settings and folders and then installing it again (sudo apt install tor).
I think need add it info to 'Readme'
