Cannot connect to Dat network
I am reporting:
- a bug or unexpected behavior
Bug Report
Please give us details about your installation to assist you. Run dat -v to see the version of Dat you are using.
- Operating system: Fedora 33
- Node Version: 14.15.4
- Dat Version: dat@next (but the same happens with plain dat; both installed via
npm install -g)
Expected behavior
Get to the next step and wait for incoming connections.
Actual behavior
When i start cloning a Dat i created earlier (and which is available, e.g. on hashbase.io), Dat tells me that it’s “Connecting to dat network...”, and nothing else happens.

Additional information
I’m behind a NAT. My home router forwards port 3282 to the machine on which i run dat clone and i tested it is accessible from the outside world.
dat doctor said (until i installed dat@next, which doesn’t have this functionality; however, i installed dat-doctor which says exactly the same)

Checking manually, the hosts dat-doctor tries to reach (bootstrap[1..4].datprotocol.com) are unreachable to me.
The same thing happens on a machine with a public IP address.

I have exactly the same problem as above, with the same software info as @snxraven. I can't connect to the dat network and clone anything outside of localhost. I am running Ubuntu 20.04.2. I have tried installing dat through the bash file and npm using both sudo npm install -g dat and sudo npm install -g dat@next.
I have this issue too! It seems like I can only access the dat network inside localhost. I am running Debian 10.10. I installed dat via the bash script, any solutions to this problem?
