Unable to connect to HA even after updating and restarting

Installation
21

type net reload

22

Maybe because your network settings are set via dhcp and not static. Don’t know if you are able to change these settings then, i’m not sure.

23

My router shouldn’t give my modems is DNS to home assistant. Makes no sense to me.

24

Nothing changed after this

edit: I am still not convinced that DNS is the culprit, since I cant even connect to the IP directly, while I am able to ping the IP and, what is interesting, open the supervisor page on the port 4357

25

I know it shows the port 8123 at ur startpost, but did you ever changed the port in yaml?

26

check your router, and make sure this doesn’t come from your dhcp settings, no matter how they got there , should point to your Routers ip

There is absolutely no point in having an external DNS, to resolve local-addresses ( doesn’t work ) , and if you have try to access from windows, open console and type " ipconfig /flushdns "

i know you “should” be able to access through ip-number, but better to have proper default setting , AND also make sure you use http not https

As i don’t know what setting DuckDns does i can’t help you there … i assume/hope it reverts all settings, when you removed it

I have only my routers internal ipnumber as dns, and rely on my ISP route external traffic properly ( have to go through them one way or another anyway, (even if i hardcode an external DNS somewhere)

27

if this address is used, there is no dns involved (hence, dns cannot be an issue)

Why not make a backup and secure it somewhere re-image the drive, and restore the backup?
If that results in the same situation, it is probably one of the addons causing it, so restore the backup step by step :wink:

try to check whether you still have ssl enabled in HA )as it started after you removed DuckDns(for external access) you might have enabled ssl then (when you tried to install/configured it)

" ha core inf "

!!! SSL is still on. how do I disable it then?

30

try

core options

core info

if not

then …

core options --ssl

core options

core info

PS: Do you remember whether you added SSL (i.e in configuration.yaml) when you fiddled with DuckDns ?

PS:2 Remember to type

core restart

before you test if you can access now ( after you cleared your browser cache for everything ! ) :slight_smile:

i added http: to config, based on your suggestion i logged into console and edited the config (deleted all the ssl stuff)
It still showed ssl: true in the ha core info.
So I asked chat gpt for advice, and it nudged me to try ha core check. it took a while and then when i tried core info, it showed SSL: False
then i restarted my router and voiala! I am in. Thank you so much for help, it was 2 months I couldnt solve this.
