Unable to use psst on Eduroam

[TrakJohnson]

Describe the bug
When using Psst while connected to an eduroam network, I get Error: connection refused (os error 111). This applies regardless of if I was logged in before or not; anything that requires sending requests to spotify fails.

I would be happy to add logs but no clue as to where to find them.

To Reproduce

• Connect to eduroam network
• Open Psst (try to login / play music if already logged in)

Expected behavior
Being able to use Psst; I never had software specifically fail on eduroam networks and the official spotify client works fine.

Screenshots

Environment

• OS: Fedora Linux 41 (Workstation Edition) x84
• Kernel: Linux 6.11.5-300.fc41.x86_64
• Version: commit hash 5fb8918

Additional context
I have checked that simply changing to another wifi solves everything. Thanks :)

This is very weird; it works for me on Eduroam; are you using a proxy? Just out of curiosity, have you tried any other Spotify clients, such as https://github.com/xou816/spot?

Does this work: ping open.spotify.com
or this: ping api.spotify.com

Is it related to hosting the Spotify Oauth server on localhost initially?

Thank you for your replies, I currently don't have access to the network to test anything (no classes) but will report back as soon as I can!

I've noticed the same. However, using a VPN seems to fix this 😆

edit: make sure your universities policy allows this :)
