error msg="Remotedialer proxy error" error="dial tcp 178.128.82.167:8080: i/o timeout"

For two days now when I TRY to access my DO domains I keep getting the following error: "error msg=“Remotedialer proxy error” error=“dial tcp 178.128.82.167:8080: i/o timeout” When I did a WHOIS 178.128.82.167 it said it was DigitalOcean SGP. When I checked the status it said it was operational so why is it timeing out??? Thanks.

Hi,

It sounds like that port 8080 is closed, I will advise you to follow the steps here on how to open the port:

I don’t know what happened but it just started working again OK.
