Unstable Internet Causing Codeium To Not Work

[dadadies]

To start, I know very little about internet related connections and issues. But I do have an unstable internet connection where certain types of connection, specifically github, pypi, and apparently codeium, are the only connections I am unable to connect to and work with. I assume they require a 'perfect' and stable internet connection.

Here are my specific codeium errors: the chat window either stays stuck and says 'Loading', or it loads but it says 'retry connection' so when i type text and press enter it just goes to a new line in the text field instead of sending the message:

Is it possible to make codeium work with unstable connections? How does all the other websites and servers do it since they all work except the websites and servers I mentioned. Is this requirement for a stable connection a codeium preference that can be changed to accept unstable connections? Codeium live also seems to have an issue with unstable connections as it constantly resets the chat to the beginning every few seconds (i assume its due to my unstable connection).

I have a lot of what i assume to be spaghetti code and beginner level code that i would like codeium to help me in 'refactoring'.

Hello, sorry to hear about the connection issue, has this been a persistent problem? Can you connect to the URL https://unleash.codeium.com/api/client/features using your browser? Also, have you tried to use a VPN?

[AliShahesmaeili]

I have same problem!
Via VPN i can open https://unleash.codeium.com/api/client/features in browser but in VS does not change

[thedemons]

Hey @AliShahesmaeili, would you mind helping us troubleshoot this problem?

Please kindly remove the --detect_proxy=false on LanguageServer.cs line 534, then build the extension using this guide and double click the .vsix file to install it. Alternatively, you can use my build instead: Codeium.zip.

Please make sure to uninstall the existing extension before installing the new one. After that, turn on the VPN to see if that works for you. Thanks!

I see: error: "Not allowed to access"

I always have connection issue with github and pypi and can never download anything from these sites through cmd prompts or anything that uses github or pypi. I have to download things manually or from other sources.

I am using a VPN but the connection is unstable, reconnecting every few sec or min. The unstable connection comes from the VPN but i don't know if this issue is the VPN or unstable connection in any of the cases.

[thedemons]

I see: error: "Not allowed to access"

That's normal, it means you can connect to the server, would you mind following the post I commented above and installing that version of the extension to see if the problem goes away?

Wow that works. Now I can 'code' like a pro. Thank you. Can you tell me what the issue was? It might help me help others figure out what is wrong with the other connections (sites /servers).

[AliShahesmaeili]

@thedemons
Yes it works now with VPN when i remove the --detect_proxy=false

[dadadies]

I assume this problem is considered fixed and closed? I would close it but ill leave it to the veterans.

For some reasons your internet connection can't reach Codeium server and it requires you to use a VPN. But --detect_proxy=false prevented the language server from using the proxy hence you can use your browser but not the extension.

Please leave it opened for now until the connection issue is fully fixed

We will investigate this further and hopefully, you won't need a VPN to use Codeium. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I have no internet without VPN so i actually need to use a VPN to be able to use codeium. So the solution / vsix you provided works perfectly for my specific VPN issue. But again i dont know if the issue was the VPN itself or just the general unstable connection it provides.

[thedemons]

@AliShahesmaeili @dadadies

Hey, sorry for the ping, PR #36 has added an option to enable proxy and it should be visible in Tools > Options > Codeium. It is disabled by default so kindly enable it from there.

Please uninstall that custom-build vsix and install the extension from the marketplace to ensure it's always up-to-date! Thanks!

[dadadies]

I installed from the marketplace and enabled language proxy server. But i still get a connection error:

Whatever was in the 'custom-build vsix' made codeium work when you uploaded it. However even the custom-build vsix doesn't work anymore. [This could be a lost cause. My situation is a bit unusual as I using an unknown VPN to have internet access and they might be doing unusual things that are interfering with github, pypi, and codeium. These 3 must be doing something similar to have the similar issues. Additionally my VPN doesn't allow peer-to-peer and who knows what else. I only have these issues when I am using this VPN. When i use public wifis i have no issues. That said the custom-build vsix did work for a moment so I know its possible to fix the issue.]

[fortenforge]

It looks like the setting did in fact work as proxyplease successfully found the proxy defined by the VPN and is using it. Not sure there's much else we can do unfortunately.

[dadadies]

I have found that occasionally i can use Codeium if I use a token. But normal signin doesn't. Its spotty but it works when it works. I dont know if this is considered fixed since i cant really confirm if before this change, there was an option to use a token as I don't remember there being a token option before the change.
