Client hangs when trying to connect from unauthorized IP

Open deeb33 opened this issue 9 years ago • 0 comments

Brief Description: If the client is connecting from an IP that is not allowed by the Server, the client hangs with no useful options.

Operating System (OS and version): Client - Windows 7, 64 bit Server - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

OpenBazaar version (shown on About OpenBazaar page in menu): Both - 1.1.6

Hardware: Client - Intel Dual Core 3 ghz, 4 GB RAM Server - Bitnodes.net (Linode I think) VPS, 1 core, 1 GB RAM

Reproducible (Always / Almost Always / Sometimes / Rarely / Couldn't Reproduce): Always

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start Server with python openbazaard.py start -da some-ip-not-the-client-ip
  2. Connect to server from client with IP other than some-ip-not-the-client-ip

Observed Behavior: Page loading graphic which within a second or two adds the message

Loading this page is taking longer than expected. and two buttons Reload and Go to Discover neither of which are useful.

Expected Behavior: I would expect to see something to the effect that access is denied. Options to edit the server data or select another server might be more useful.
