@eurasierboy hey, I'm trying to use Amaroq to connect to a Mastodon instance I run inside a VPN and it's refusing to connect. I'm wondering if it tries to force https on the connection? I don't have ssl enabled, because it's on a VPN anyway and not available to the outside. My phone is on the VPN and I can reach my mastodon using a browser. Any ideas?

@rustyk5 Amaroq forces https due to Apple's soon to be enforced App Transport Security rules that require all app connections to be https. This was recently delayed, but we do not know for how long, so I'm probably not going to change this. More info here: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=12212016b

There are temporary flags that can be added to allow arbitrary connections via http but this is largely frowned upon. Sorry 3:

@eurasierboy got it, I just wanted to confirm that that was my actual problem. I'll figure out how to SSL it, thanks for the info!
