Re: "I tried to send a message to rfc@misfin.org with the python..."
@clseibold I've tracked down the issue, and looked at what Request.send_as() is doing and what ports it uses ... Apparently misfin uses the port 1958, and i've tried to connect manually with telnet on misfin.org or auragem.letz.dev on that port and it fails.
So this is a networking issue, but i don't see why any ISP would block that port ? It's not an issue on my firewall cause i don't filter outbound traffic.

I'm also getting a timeout when trying to hit auragem.letz.dev on port 1958

alexlehm's address worked for me and I can telnet to your domain on port 1965 (but not 1958)
I can't hit misfin.org on 1958 either, although I did sucessfully send a message there a few months ago I think

@clseibold Sending to alexlehm@gemini.lehmann.cx worked !

@clseibold You need to check which "hostname" you used in the certificates, that's what misfin looks at to know which hostname to contact. Make sure the hostname for the certificate you're sending to can be resolved by the client machine.
To see which hostname it's trying to contact, add this line in transponder/misfin.py in the send_as() function before the sock.connect call
print(req.recipient.hostname, default_port)
I have the server on linux shared host, I use the python client to send only. I wouldn't be able to run the server on my windows since my ISP has CGNAT for IPv6 (vodafone cable), so I don't think I can do port forward
@clseilbold, I cannot reach your misfin port with telnet but I can reach your gemini port, likely you need some router config to reach it

@clseibold That seems to have fixed it - I've just sent a message and received a success response
I tried to send a message to rfc@misfin.org with the python client but it blocks when trying to connect.
