Error "Host check error"

After upgrading a VPS from 0.14.5 to 0.14.6 there is a “Host check error” in the browser. I’m using SSH + tunnel (127.0.0.1:19090 -> 127.0.0.1:9090) to remotely access the Syncthing GUI which worked perfectly until today.

Please help, thanks!

The check is when listning on localhost only, the browser should make a connection towards localhost. Your tunnel setup should accomplish that just fine, as long as the URL you’re entering into the browser is http://localhost:19090 or http://127.0.0.1:19090

How are you accessing the GUI, exactly?

A restart of Syncthing fixed it

That sounds very odd, but OK. :wink:

I have the same issue, I’m using a reverse proxy auth via NGINX, so the user is authenticated however not via syncthing. The issue is that if I change the listening to 0.0.0.0 I get a warning about it being open for anyone.

Is there a way to disable this check or disable the warning about the installation being insecure?
