• N2Usenet nym gateway issue

    Our Nym requester on Victor recently stopped forwarding traffic because
    the public Nym gateway it was registered with became unreachable and
    refused connections on both its main WebSocket endpoint and fallback IP address.

    The gateway was not operated by us or directly by the Nym team. It was a
    public Nym gateway run by an independent network operator.

    The exact reason for the outage remains unknown. Possible causes include
    a stopped service, reverse proxy failure, firewall changes, a software incompatibility, or an issue with the operatorrCOs server.

    We restored service by registering a working gateway, updating the corresponding requester address on Pietro, and verifying the complete
    SMTP and TLS path.

    Operating our own Nym gateway is also being considered to reduce
    dependence on randomly selected third-party infrastructure.

    Hi Gabx,

    you should consider using old gateways, which are in service for
    already many years, like the ones from wunderbaer, which are
    reliable and I use them as well. Or run your own gateway, which
    gives you the identity-key for your very own Nym SDK software
    components, so that you are the only person responsible for any
    outages.

    Best regards
    Stefan

    P.S. I am currently working on nym-validator CLI, which can
    list all exit gateways etc. and can be later included for a
    postfix MTA whitelist for a new YAMN remailer network, to
    allow only YAMN traffic from Nym exit gateways to remailers
    and additionally a remop can set-up a whitelist for outgoing
    email addresses too. That way OmniCrap users are excluded,
    which spread false informations, insulting people, or sending
    death threats etc.

    One possibility left out: It could be haunted!
