get stuck in reconnecting

[facat]

I compiled ngrok 1.7 from git source. Often the client is stuck in "reconnecting". After I restart the client everything is back to normal.

Below is log:

It seems the client is waiting for server to response after "Writing message". Why doesn't the client retry writing after some time if no response received? I think this is why client is often stuck.

pretty sure this could be a legitimate bug and not a network error. very likely related to misusing the Read call when it should be ReadAll if i remember correctly. leaving this open

@inconshreveable Wow, you are here now ? I have found you changed README.md. I like ngrok very much. Thank you for this amazing project !

[mtwilliams]

I've encountered this too! When trying to showcase something no less :(

Any ideas on workarounds?

[inconshreveable]

If you compiled ngrok and are not pointing it at your own server it will no longer work as the 1.X service has been shut down. The best ways to upgrade are to grab the latest version of ngrok 2.0: https://ngrok.com/download or to compile and deploy your own ngrok server

Can client (version 2.x) support server(version 1.x)

i had deploy a 1.7 server .. can i download the 2.x client to connect ?

[inconshreveable]

@sorawa no, sorry, 1.7 and 2.0 are completely different and can not be used together

[stephenmeszaros]

Ran into this same bug and excuse my ignorance here, but how do you remove/unintstall version 1.x in order to use 2.x?

[inconshreveable]

All you need to do is simply delete the 1.x binary, ngrok doesn't have any other installed components.

If any one needs help deploying 1.7 I am happy to help. [email protected]

I'm getting this error message:

[EROR] control recovering from failure dial tcp: lookup ngrokd.ngrok.com: no such host

Is ngrok down?

[inconshreveable]

no. the v1 ngrok service does not run any more. if you want to run ngrok 1.x you need to set up your own ngrok server. (see doc/SELFHOSTING) if you want to use the ngrok.com hosted service, you'll want to download the v2 binary from https://ngrok.com/download

[sergiopvilar]

@inconshreveable ohh, ok! Thanks!

ngrok reconnecting(EOF) issue coming

[manzoo16]

no. the v1 ngrok service does not run any more. if you want to run ngrok 1.x you need to set up your own ngrok server. (see doc/SELFHOSTING) if you want to use the ngrok.com hosted service, you'll want to download the v2 binary from https://ngrok.com/download

But I downloaded v2 binary and still getting the same error. Session status - reconnecting. What could be the cause

Did you ever find a solution to this problem?

[MNFrankie]

Window not working. Any solution to date.

[armalitedev]

updating from 1.7.1 to 2.3.40 worked for me

[russorat]

Thank you for opening this issue! As of April 2016, the ngrok service has permanently moved to https://ngrok.com/. To join the community and file bug reports or feature enhancements for the ngrok agent, please go to https://github.com/ngrok/ngrok.

This repository is no longer actively maintained and will be archived soon to reduce confusion with the latest ngrok versions. We thank you for the continued support of ngrok and look forward to seeing you over at ngrok.com and the ngrok Community Repo.
