Bug: Unable to use local XMR node through monerod

[GhostDog98]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

When connecting to a locally hosted monero node, i see the following traffic:
Stack sends SYN to server
Server responds with [RST, ACK]

Stack wallet says server is offline.
My cmdline options for my server are:
./monerod --restricted-rpc --rpc-login redacted:redacted --data-dir ./

And my node details are:
Node name: test
Url: http://192.168.0.123
Port: 18081
Login: redacted
Password: redacted

On the server, I have ports 18081, 18080, and 18089 set to ALLOW. Both the devices are on the same subnet and can clearly communicate, as I can contact a web server hosted on the same host.

Expected Behavior

I put in the details and it works.

Reproduce Steps

Run a node using monerod:
./monerod --restricted-rpc --rpc-login redacted:redacted --data-dir ./
Open up ports 18080, 18081, and 18089 using ufw allow <port>
Connect via stack wallet
Stack wallet fails to connect

Environment

Server Env:

• Arch linux x86_64

Stack env:

• Build number 2243, version 2.1.4

This is probably related to RPC authentication: #981

Been working on this, RPC authentication has just been a stumbling-block

I believe this is a separate issue, as when running the server using ./monerod --data-dir ./ it still fails, and i am never getting a prompt for the certificate, which suggests a failure earlier in the connection attempt.
Here's some more diagnostics should they help:

• ping from client to server returns consistently, showing the ip is reachable
• ping from server to client returns consistently
• I can reach other open ports (e.g. 80, 443, 8080) from the client

Currently waiting for monerod to fully sync with the chain, i'll run an nmap after it does...

Edit/Update for nmap:
Running nmap from client to server returns that 18080 is open, but 18081 and 18089 are closed.
Running with the server enabled rpc, i get the same results, despite the fact that 18081 should be open?

Ended up fixing my issue, twas a skill issue afterall;
./monerod --restricted-rpc --rpc-bind-port 18081 --rpc-bind-ip <local ipv4 address> --confirm-external-bind --rpc-login <username>:<login> --data-dir ./ is the command you want to use if you are communicating over local network.
