No solvers available

Hey guys, I’m having an issue trying to get boringproxy started.

I have a vps that is double NAT’d.

the systems IP is 10.0.0.4 and it’s external ip is 20.x.x.241.

I have used updog to confirm that port 80 and 443 work and can connect.

when I try and start boring proxy I get…

solving challenges: example.com: no solvers available fo r remaining challenges (configured=[http-01 tls-alpn-01] offered=[http-01 dns-01 tls-alpn-01] remaining=[dns-01])

I used example.com instead of my actual domain for privacy.

is there a way to specify an external ip? or does anyone have an idea on how to resolve this?

thanks!

Hi @daif, are there any other warnings reported? boringproxy will automatically check that you’re using ports 80/443 and that they are publicly accessible through the (also auto-detected) public IP.

Hey anders,

thanks for the reply. I don’t think there is any - here’s a snip. privacy be damned! lol.

phobos:/opt/apps/boringproxy$ ./boringproxy-linux-x86_64 server -admin-domain tavecloud.cyou

looks ok to me, but I’m not sure.

thanks for the help :smiley:

If I run dig tavecloud.cyou I’m not seeing any DNS records for that domain. Did you set up A and/or AAAA records?

Thanks for the reply anders. I didn’t, I just pointed the root domain to my vps ip. I created another a record dns.tavecloud.cyou (pointing to my external VPS IP) and I’m still getting the same thing.

./boringproxy-linux-x86_64 server -adm in-domain dns.tavecloud.cyou

The issue must have something to do with cloudflare. I used duckdns and pointed it right to the ip and it worked fine.
