Hello

I'm trying to create a discussion between my Simplex application on my Android, and the Simplex CLI application on my Linux.

But either I don't understand how it works, or something isn't working.

On the cli version

version, I understand that you have to do

/c to create an address

it replies

/c

BROKER {brokerAddress = "smp://[email protected],xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxx.onion", brokerErr = NETWORK}

is this all you have to paste on the Android side to be able to chat?

Your CLI fails to connect to the relays, something is not working. Are you connected to the internet? Possibly, you cannot access the relay.

Try:

ping smp4.simplex.im

telnet smp4.simplex.im 5223

If you can't connect to preset relays, you need to either use VPN or some other relays (e.g., self-host).
