Hi everyone, for some reason my node.js app is not able to connect to an IP address after I deployed it to digital ocean. My app is supposed to connect to physical alarm systems via IP/Port to get the system status (armed/disarmed). UFW is currently inactive. My app is working locally. Is there something I need to configure in order to get it to connect from the digital ocean servers?
const client = new ElkClient({
connection: {
host: "IP/DNS ADDRESS",
secure: true/false,
port: PORT,
site: "SITENAME"
}
})
console.log(client)
client.connect().catch((err)=> console.log("Connection Error"))

Hi @michaelrbraun1985,
You can try and allow the port through your IPtables. I believe it will still need to be edited even if you are not using UFW.
First to allow incoming connections from this port (only if needed):
Where you’ll need to change XXX with your actual port.
Now for outgoing connections, you’ll need to execute the following:
Again change XXX with the actual port.
Just out of curiosity, which port are you trying to connect to?
