Hi Alexey, 

After checking the browser console, the server is indeed not connecting. I am confused as to how I am able to still send and receive messages? The only thing that seems to be wrong is that Connecting......... bar. Here's the screenshot of the browser console: I've opened the port through ufw, made sure it was the same part in the config/config.json file.

Any ideas on things I can do to troubleshoot?

Thanks
