Hey everyone, I’m a complete newbie with /e/ and I’m thrilled so far.
However, I have a problem and I couldn’t find an answer here.
In “App Lounge” you are offered to create an “Exodus report” on the subject of data protection for the apps. You can also view trackers. But unfortunately it doesn’t work. When I click on it, a browser opens and tries to access “reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/”. But this fails with the error message “err_connection_refused”.
In another browser (Firefox) it does not work either.
However, if I switch off Wifi and use the mobile data connection, then it works.
I can also open the page on a notebook that is connected to the same Wifi.
What could be the problem here? Thank you very much.
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem, exodus-privacy seems to be blocked from the ISP.
With TOR Browser or through a VPN, I have access to exodus-privacy.eu.org
but from the wifi…
$ dig exodus-privacy.eu.org +short
217.70.189.62
$ nc -vz 217.70.189.62 443
nc: connect to 217.70.189.62 port 443 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
$ nmap -Pn 217.70.189.62

Theory II (instead of rate limiting): overall request volume is exhausting their uwsgi workers - I scrolled 20-30 pages of apps until every response was N/A - but I wasn’t blocked per se, just no answer. Switching over many /e/OS users with the !522 MR must have heightened their request volume? /e/ should hit them up and ask if they’re unhappy - API is down? · Issue #605 · Exodus-Privacy/exodus · GitHub
Hello,
I asked directly to Exodus.
My IP had been banned for exceeding their limit of more than 50 API requests per second three times in a short space of time.
I have the same problem. But I haven’t used App Lounge that much. It happened to me after just a few uses, I installed /e/OS at the evening, installed Whatsapp and went to bed. The next day (yesterday) I installed a very few apps and then I couldn’t see any privacy rates.
Sometimes loading Exodus Privacy ratings did not work and ended up in http timeout. I suspect it happens because the recycler view is not cancelling properly the http request to load the rating.
I’m unsure this will lead to less requests emitted when scrolling down, just better housekeeping?
your IP address has been ban because /e/OS “App Lounge” is DDOSing our infrastructure with lot of requests from a lot of smartphones without our permission.
I guess that development team was aware of it, but just in case, I’ll try to contact them.
