I am running shadowsocks-go, and it works perfectly fine with the droplet’s own IPv4 address (e.g. 1.1.1.1). When I try to access the shadowsocks server using the floating IP address (e.g. 2.2.2.2), it fails with the following error

How can I use the Floating IP address correctly?
This textbox defaults to using Markdown to format your answer.
You can type !ref in this text area to quickly search our full set of tutorials, documentation & marketplace offerings and insert the link!
Do you have your daemon set up to listen on the anchor IP assigned internally on your droplet instead of the public Floating IP? Your droplet will never see an interface with the public floating IP as all traffic to this IP will be routed over the private network to your droplet.
