[Question] Connect with homeserver about sydent

[reivilibre]

I'd suggest trying https://federationtester.matrix.org/ to see if federation looks about right for your homeserver.

It does look right. It does work. It connects on site, I can connect to external servers, they can to mine. I just can not get Sydent to work, no idea what could be wrong/blocking it. I always get a timeout after a while. At first Sydent did say that IP was blacklisted so I added it to whitelist (synapse's server) and it does connect looking at the logs, just clients time outs.

I checked public server, it can connect to my Sydent instance. There must be some specific setting in Synapse that is blocking and timing out this connection that I am not aware of.

Somewhow public server shows it connects at port 443 whereas for my server it tries to connect at 8443. Though, in the delefation I do deletate it to port 443.

Well-Known Matrix Server

location /.well-known/matrix/server {
    default_type application/json;
    return 200 '{"m.server": "federation.domain.com:443"}';
    add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
}

Possibly that's the issue but I wonder why it would use different port when the federation does work otherwise?

Hi there, this looks like a support request rather than a bug report - I am going to redirect you to #sydent:matrix.org and #synapse:matrix.org for further questions.
