Instance addition/change for non-cloudflare official kavin.rocks #614
Comments
Well bc it's redirecting to piped.video every time I try opening it. |
@ManeraKai Yeah this is very odd.. I can't answer to why it seems to be under the same domain but they do appear to use different apis when you inspect it with ublock's dynamic filtering... the "cloudflared" instance uses
Meanwhile however with my saved instance within libredirect uses
It's very strange, because when you do click what i linked to be the "libre" it does appear to redirect to the one that only uses the So I guess they are actually just straight up lying..? Very unfortunate. |
pipedproxy-ams-2.kavin.rocks is behind cloudlfare
No I think there's a misconfiguration or something. |
It's not behind Cloudflare. The IP simply isn't even Cloudflare. |
Right, sorry. |
The instances fetcher gets redirected to piped.video, so it assumes the "web frontend" is piped.video and adds it to the list. Now I know why I'm having the issue of a duplicate entry xD. |
Still issues with configuration. But that might be on Piped's end, no? There seems to be an issue with the redirection, I'm having issues when switching instances and embedded links. Again, Both now gone from the instance, what happened between my posting and now? Impossible to differentiate anymore with the domain. I'm not conspiracy minded but it's a funny coincidence that they are just gone the minute my original post went up. :) |
The problem is Libredirect doesn't have a proper understanding of Piped's API, but instead tries to redirect to a frontend of Piped. The thing is each frontend instance of Piped is designed to be able to connect to any API instance of Piped. For example, you can can go to https://piped.video/preferences and switch instances in the bottom of the page. This is the official and recommended way to use Piped, since frontends could be potentially modified by instance operators in a harmful manner, and there's no way to check the frontend's code. The Piped frontend is also available through a few other officially hosted means, such as IPFS, Tor, and a few Clearweb mirrors. What I'd recommend libredirect to do, is allow choosing a frontend and backend independently. (You can set the backend independently through localstorage) |
Ah, of course. Now I understand what happened; the preferences. Thanks for clearing that up. |
I know this, but people wanted it to be like that anyway.
Didn't know it's on IPFS too, interesting.
I will see what I can do. |
Current (double listed) piped.video instances of are both tagged cloudflare in libredirect, however Piped has a claimed non-cloudflare version of kavin.rocks here. https://pipedapi-libre.kavin.rocks/ https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances
I have already favorited this instance myself, but think this should be natively implemented within the instance lists for PSA and security.
