Hi, I deployed my own Thinger.io server on an ionos Cloud VPS.
Fine so far; the console works. I just have problems to connect my device(s). The same code works using iot.thinger.io (I just added the #define THINGER_SERVER ‘xxx.xx.xxx.xx’). The DEBUG/ serial output looks not so bad:
Found BME280 sensor! Success.

Might it be a port/ firewall problem?
On the SERVER
I opened the 25200 and 25202 ports with ufw, allowing both input and output from those ports:
root@localhost:~# ufw status verbose
Status: active
Logging: on (low)
Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), disabled (routed)
New profiles: skip

However, when scanning the ports from OUTSIDE:
[root@localhost robertwinkler]# nmap xx.xxx.xx.xx
Starting Nmap 7.70 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2019-05-02 11:56 CEST
Nmap scan report for xx.xxx.xx.xx
Host is up (0.079s latency).

nmap xx.xxx.xx.xx -p25200:25202
PORT STATE SERVICE

25202/tcp filtered unknown
Is there the problem that the ports are not open from outside (if yes, how to fix that)? Any other idea?
EDIT: The solution was to edit the firewall rules on the ionos.de VPS configuration platform.
Best, Robert
