[Bug]: Could not create share link, please check your internet connection.

[ProGamerGov]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What happened?

Gradio cannot connect to the internet in a Google Cloud Compute instance The gradio web link is not created despite using the --share parameter . Previously this worked without issue. Gradio generated the web link perfectly fine if I create a simple script that creates a gradio instance.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Spin up a cloud VM and launch the webui with --share enabled.

What should have happened?

It should work and provide a web link for Gradio.

Additional information

I also made an issue post on the gradio repo: https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/issues/3498

It seems to break after the commit 64fc936 when the initial Gradio 3.22 support is implemented in commit 8ea8e71.

You could temporarily circumvent this by going to the repo folder in cmd and typing git checkout 64fc936. On a local install. Which would be like adding !git checkout 64fc936 above !COMMAND_LINE_ARGS.

Solution but with different commit: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/101anxq/comment/j2mdvt6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

It seems to break after gradio is upgraded past version 3.18.0, 3.19.0 breaks the sharing for me.

@ProGamerGov Check #9194, are there any antiviruses that might've blocked Gradio's frpc_windows_amd64_v0.2 or frpc_windows_amd64?

[ProGamerGov]

@Ju1-js The failure was on a Debian Linux cloud server.

@ProGamerGov I was able to fix this problem by running running sudo su root before running the python command.

From your terminal output, it seems like you're running the command as user and not root

I have the same issue with a cloud server but your solution did not work for me, i tried running webui.py as root user but got the same test your internet connection error

I also have a question regarding gradio: Do i need username and password for gradio to work?

Do i need username and password for gradio to work?

@l0ggik From my experience, you don't need to the username and password. According to the sd-webui docs for the --gradio-auth parameter is optional and not needed
