Hello,
I have problem with the Circuit Relay on IPFS 0.18
I’m trying to make 2 undialable node speak to one another by using a dialable node that will act as a Relay. All these 3 nodes have a private swarm key, they are on our private IPFS network.
From what I saw, my relay seems to have trouble using the hop protocol to connect to the relay.
This is the output of the ipfs id of the relay node.

This is the config of the relay node : (I tried bootstraping and peering to myself bc I saw someone do this and claiming it help, but it doesn’t do anything for me)

The config of the non-dialable node are basically the same with different key, and with :
"RelayClient": {
"Enabled": true,
"StaticRelays": [
"/p2p-circuit/ipfs/12D3KooWHTXfbZWVVJZBe4efvL2atLooRhC35f9u8J4hAqgggvYn"
]
},
In order to try to see if the problem was during the discovery of other peers during Kademlia protocol.
My 2 un-dialable nodes :
- can’t communicate together
- can’t ping one another
- when I add a file in IPFS in node A, node B can’t cat it unless the relay server cat it first
So it seems that the relay circuit have a problem when using the hop protocol. Do you have an idea of what could be happening ? Is it something else ?
