Dashmate incorrectly shows ports as closed

dashmate status core and dashmate status platform report ports 443, 9999 and 26656 as closed. Had me worried for a bit although my node seemed to chug along just fine.

I checked with lsof that the server is listening on those ports:

and also used a netcat port scan to confirm from another host at a different location that these ports are open:

Is this a bug in Dashmate?

Share you IP, so we can confirm it. Your server is not reachable from the internet.
 
I used to have a provider that was not letting me setup Dashmate due to the internal stuff blocking. Have you tried different vps?
 
@Theia

False reporting from Dashmate if you ask me. You are not the first one reporting this. Saw a few people complaining about this on Discord help-desk channel with previous Platform update.

Please create a Github issue for this here : https://github.com/dashpay/platform/issues so devs can take a look at it.
Also make sure you have setup your firewall like this (uncomment port 80) :

To the people facing this issue, are you using Hetzner? Did you leave IPv6 as enabled? For Dash, it should be IPv6 is disabled in the VPS, Dash runs on legacy network called IPv4 only !
 
Please add debug environment to your status command, it will show you an error message in case there is a problem with request

DEBUG=1 dashmate status

Yes, it is reachable from the Internet. Netcat from another IP on a different hosting company shows it's reachable. I've also been monitoring the node closely and it's working fine. No, it's not Hetzner.

Yes, that's my setup. Here is my ufw status output:

I'll look into Github. I don't have an account there, may set one up later.
 
@Theia once you created a Github account (secure it with 2 factor authentication) and added your emailadress in that account, you can create a Github issue (obviously).

You can also place a watch on the Platform repository (https://github.com/dashpay/platform) and get informed through email about new Platform versions. You will also get email notifications about dev builds in there, but at least you will be very aware about a new Platform version.

It's not enough, we need to know if you have IPv6 enabled as well, it should be switched OFF at the VPS level. Please check it and turn it OFF at the provider's configuration page.
 
Can someone facing issues with DashMate says port is CLOSED, test the below two commands and let us know if they differ in result?

Code: 
curl -s https://apogee.dynu.net/
curl -s https://mnowatch.org/

Both output the HTML of the homepage. I didn't hash it to compare, but looks identical to me.

My bad, can you try these instead?

Code: 
curl -s https://apogee.dynu.net/9999/
curl -s https://mnowatch.org/9999/
