macOS Device cannot be linked in web client

[winter01942]

I have just installed the F@H client 8.3.18 on my MacOS device (Apple Silicon, Sequoia 15.2), and I am unable to link the machine in the web client.

with v8-3.foldingathome.org/account, nothing happens after clicking the Link button
with v8-4.foldingathome.org, the "Auto-linking client" prompt always appears telling me it has automatically linked however the machine still stays unlinked

thus the machine always shows the following error in the logs

Code: Select all

13:04:48:W :CON1:DNS lookup failed for api.foldingathome.org
13:04:48:E :OUT1:Failed response: CONNECT
13:04:48:W :CON2:DNS lookup failed for api.foldingathome.org
13:04:48:W :Failed to update GPUs

I have tried to load / unload the .plist, as well as upgrading to the 8.4.8 alpha release of the F@H client, but no success

Hope someone can guide me to what I am doing wrong, and apologies in advance if I had missed something during the install as this is my first F@H install on a macOS device

Please upgrade to 8.4.9 beta and report back.

Note also that the link button requests linking, which happens asynchronously. It sometimes takes a reload of web control to get current state.

DNS errors might be fixed using the latest beta.

Installed the 8.4.9 beta, tried unload / load as well as a full system restart and gave it some time

Still the same behaviour, the prompt telling me "The local machine has been automatically linked to your Folding@home account." comes out when refreshing the client, but machine still remains unlinked. I also did take a look at the browser tools Network tab, and I don't see anything happening when clicking the Link button.

Does upgrading require a full remove + install? So far I have just been installing the new client directly.

You do not need to uninstall before upgrade.

The log does not show errors connecting to api.foldingathome.org?

[winter01942]

It still does the same

Code: Select all

pinging api.foldingathome.org works fine

Code: Select all

Chees-Mac-mini ~ % ping api.foldingathome.org

How many clients do you have connecting from the same IP address?

The api server imposes temporary bans when its rate limit is reached. I know that was recently raised, but don’t know what the limit is.

I only have one machine, but good call nevertheless

Switched over to my cellular network and device is linked now. Waiting for work units

Thanks!
