[!] ERROR: sorry, it was not possible to establish a connection to the server.
Any fix? I did follow instructions.

Hi @Loloman2,

You can try to test Nipe again? I think this is resolved with the lasted commit.

Thx

[htrgouvea]

Hi @Loloman2,

[ghost]

[supriyo97]

I'm facing the same issue @GouveaHeitor in my Manjaro 20.0 while I typed "sudo perl nipe.pl status".
can you help?

[htrgouvea]

Hi @supriyo97,
Have you tried to check if you already have rules in iptbles that could cause conflicts?
Use: $ iptables -L

Thx

[supriyo97]

`[sap@DELL-X nipe]$ sudo iptables -L

Fala amigo estou tendo o mesmo problema que os colegas acima, tentei resolver de diversas formas mas não consegui. Estou utilizando o Manjaro 4.6.

Eu dei uma olhada nos arquivos e pensei que o problema poderia ser nas chamados dos diretórios do tor no programa, pelo menos no manjaro, por exemplo existem algumas chamadas em var/lib/tor porem esse patch é inexistente com a instalação padrão do tor.

Quando faço a instalação do tor na versão 0.4.3.5-2 no manjaro o patch dos arquivos fica assim, e as chamadas no programa são em diretórios diferentes, da uma olhada se valer a pena 👍

/etc/tor/torrc
/etc/tor/torrc-dist

Gostaria que desse uma olhada, não sei se pode ser isso, mas custa nada checar kk, porque eu não consegui nada kk;

Don't give the status command right after starting nipe....Give it some time to establish a connection to the tor network

[sv0]

I experience this error as well.

There are two possible cases:

1. Nipe is freshly installed using git clone and ./nipe.pl install.
   After that it starts with ./nipe.pl start and works as expected(for the first time only).

2. When you already have nipe installed with required dependencies (tor, iptables) and you start nipe with ./nipe.pl start it can fail in some circumstances.

Case 1

./nipe.pl install command stops Tor system service in Install.pm

So when you run ./nipe.pl start just after that, Tor system service is stopped and new Tor process starts with custom config from .configs directory.

Case 2

You already have Nipe and dependencies installed.

So you usually run ./nipe.pl start to route all traffic through the Tor network.
When you check if it works with ./nipe.pl status, the output is:

 ./nipe.pl status

[!] ERROR: sorry, it was not possible to establish a connection to the server.

It happens because Tor system service is already running and bound on port 9050. It was not stopped as in case with ./nipe install command.

And when you run ./nipe.pl start, Tor process with custom config fails to start.

As a result of that, traffic forwarded to ports 9051 and 9061(DNS via Tor) goes nowhere.

Currently I'm working on this issue and will provide the fixes as soon as possible.

Hi @sv0,

I see that you are writing a lot of new and interesting code!
I would like to remind you to follow the Style Guide we use on Nipe: https://heitorgouvea.me/projects/perl-style-guide

Also, if you want, you can open small PR by solving minor things, so we can keep everything up to date quickly...
Hugs and thanks for the contribution!

I have the same issue on Arch 5.8.1-arch1-1 ... only warning I get is that perl is Version : 5.32.0-1 a newer than expected ...

It installs fine and I get the same error

[Vignesh-N-0]

nipe is working ...can you try this !
.
.
First Modify The Argument value in (1) :

Then you can use this commend's :
nano nipe.pl
Then modify the argument in 1 :
sub main {
my $argument = $ARGV[1];
Then save it :
Then it we get a Error Like , its print only the same help comment /. /. /
COMMAND FUNCTION
install Install dependencies
start Start routing
stop Stop routing
restart Restart the Nipe circuit
status See status

Then you use the nano again to open nipe.pl then you change the argument in (0)
save it again : you can see nipe is working ......

[ajmandourah]

I get it finally to work on Manjaro. There were 2 issues .

• if installed from blackarch rep the .config files are not copied in such case you need to update your torrc file.

• for thenipe status issue. you need to install IO::Socket::SSL as its required otherwise it will return http status 599.

Please update the Readme file to include it in the installation guide. @htrgouvea

[m7amad-nem]

fixed. did the iptables -F command and it fixed

i tried it
doesnt work

[FireStormCreater]

I tried everything above nothing works.
as soon as i start nipe it's turns of my internet on every interface right away.

but what works for me is i stop the service with
perl nipe.pl stop

and then instead of
perl nipe.pl start

i use perl nipe.pl restart and it's start working

[htrgouvea]

Hi folks!

I just published a new version of Nipe, can you test it and tell me if it works now?

If it doesn't work, can you give me more information? Like the distribution they are using or any other information they find pertinent?

Thanks!

[TheUnknownMystery]

hey is there a solution to this issue? i tried everything a nothing seems to work.

distrubution: kali linux 2023.1

[htrgouvea]

Hey folks,
Recently the Nipe has had many updates. Resolve some bugs that we managed to identify. Can we test again?
Thanks.
