Since September this year, today I have had the opportunity to delve a little deeper into the “little problems the wonderful S9-SO (Start9 Server One) is giving me.”
I add a screenshot of the error SimpleX app throws in iOS when entering the standard server the S9-SO device has for SimpleX (in Spanish).
I have tried several times to get it working, unfortunately the SMP-Server always appears to fail. I have read the FAQS, followed some videos, one of them from Ben Perrin (BTC Sessions), but there is no progress on it.
The app works well with standard servers.
If you know the correct solution so that I can connect my iOS device to the “Relay” of the server which S9-SO offers, please do not hesitate to write your comments, I will be very happy to read them.
Yes bro. I have followed those steps, I even activated and deactivated the functions to use only the onion, using Orbot app.
I can imagine the situation would have to do with the difference between the S9-SO and S9-SP device. I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong.
But if there is another solution, I would be happy to read it.
Meanwhile I am connected to the app’s standard servers
This is almost always a problem with Orbot, or Apple breaking something with an update. I’m guessing you have already tried restarted Orbot/iPhone? Can you let us know your iOS version and I can test this?
Sure. Thank you for your replay and interests to find a “common” solution about the topic.
I am using iOS V 17.1.1
Please let me know your solutions.
Have a great day.
Based on chats in recent days, it sounds like Orbot on iOS has been broken again. You may like to reach out to the Orbot team to see what’s going on. I’m guessing your other tor services on iOS will also be flaky as a result. We’re working hard to get more networking options together to avoid these inconveniences.
Im wondering if this was fixed because ive been having the same issues on IOS and GrapheneOS. I have never been able to connect to S9 server with simplex. Ive been trying for over a year now and I just run out of time and give up.
Thanks,
Its been very frustrating. There’s a roadblock on pretty much every app.
Ive spent so much time time on this. Im not sure if its my settings on S09 or what. I get server not found on Nextcloud for IOS and android, server not found on simplex, matrix and bitwarden. Vaultwarden is set up and working but bitwarden works on one profile but not the owner profile on pixel 7 pro running Grapheneos. and also it dosnt work on ios. its been a bit of a nightmare. It was all working on my previous Rasp pi setup but could not backup the server and i lost everything when i switched to my x86 setup. now it seems everything works on the server but setting up my other devices is next to impossible.
Sorry for the rant.
Hey Niko
Sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues. It can be really frustrating when things aren’t working as they should.
It seems like you might be dealing with multiple problems at once. When setting up your StartOS server, it’s crucial to follow the “Trusting Your Root CA” and “Connecting Locally” guides step by step. These guides ensure that your server is properly configured and that all necessary components are working as intended.
