ERROR: Entry server is not responding or responding badly to a bandwidth increase.

[dmindfuse]

Hello. Switched on QUIC Anti-Censorship today and have since been unable to establish any kind of connection with the network. It doesn't matter which server one chooses, the outcome is always the error: Entry server is not responding or responding badly to a bandwidth increase.

I suspect the issue is that NYM released this update with an announcement of support for QUIC protocol, but did not account for roll-out delays in the network. I would encourage, to maintain reputation, to activate the feature in the App only AFTER it has been provably rolled out to >90% of NYM servers. Doing it like this, presumably, is unprofessional.
Cheers.

thanks for the feedback. the network was already updated before the rollout.

can you give examples of entry gateways that are failing for you, and also provide details on app version and your OS.

@rachyandco , actually, I need to correct myself it seems. The error is irrespective of QUIC, so I presume it is the most recent update that broke it. It seems at the moment the app is completely incapable of setting up a connection, no matter which countries I select... I have tried a dozen configurations, they all fail with the same error above. Or in other words: I cannot use NYM at all currently.

OS: Windows 11 Pro - 24H2 - build 26100.6901 - Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.253.0
NYM: 1.18.0

Literally every combination of IN/OUT fails, though some fail because entry or exit is offline.
Cheers.

On a side note: small suggestion for improvement: when clicking on the entry/exit field it would be nice if the SEARCH field automatically gets the cursor focus, so I can immediately type the first 1 to 3 chars of the country i look for without having to click in the search field with my mouse. :)

for your side note, i created this ticket : #3916

[rachyandco]

can you make sure the daemon is also version 1.18.0?

@rachyandco , I checked in the app, both state version "1.18.0".
