Firewall settings?

[rwv37]

For every server I've tried so far (only three, but still...), I more or less instantly get "Fatal: latency: --, err: server connect timeout". I'm guessing perhaps I have to adjust my firewall settings? What inbound and outbound protocol/ports would I have to allow? Thanks.

Oooh, just discovered that it works a little if I use --ping-mode="ICMP". It doesn't get the instant error, and it calculates and shows the latency. Then it runs for a noticeable amount of time further (a minute, maybe?), but eventually gives these results:

✓ Download: N/A (Used: 0.00MB) (Latency: 0ms Jitter: 0ms Min: 0ms Max: 0ms)
✓ Upload: N/A (Used: 0.00MB) (Latency: 0ms Jitter: 0ms Min: 0ms Max: 0ms)
✓ Packet Loss: N/A

@r3inbowari, I'm not sure I'm understanding, but if you're suggesting that I check the list of available servers, I've done that and it looks fine to me. And I've tried several servers from the list; I got these issues on all that I've tried.

@r3inbowari, oh, no, wait, I just checked it again and it does not look fine to me (at least not without --ping-mode="ICMP"):

If I do it without --ping-mode="ICMP", all of them say "Timeout" in the third column.

With --ping-mode="ICMP", a few do, but most of them give response times (mostly like 30-40 ms).

I didn't notice that before - I guess that because I had just been looking at the list to find the server IDs, I didn't really pay much attention to the rest of it.

@rwv37 Hi, have you tried the official speedtest? and is your firewall allowing to port 8080?

[r3inbowari]

also you can try --debug to get more details

@r3inbowari, I've often used speedtest.net through a web browser, but if you mean a different program like speedtest-go, no, I've never used any other. Port 8080 is not open (at least to things not on my LAN). I'll try that out when I get a chance, and --debug too. Thanks!
