Docker: Opening the tcp socket failed - docker

I have a docker image(base image: alpine) in raspberry pi in which there is a program to convert OPCUA messages to MQTT by connecting it to OPCUA server and MQTT broker.
Both the OPCUA server and MQTT broker are on a same Ubuntu vm.
When I try to connect it with their IP instead of dns it is getting connected. But when I try to connect it with it's hostname it throws an error that-->
Opening of tcp socket failed. Couldn't connect the client to a TCP secure channel.
Note: on raspberry pi os is Raspbian.

Publishing or subscribing data via external IP

I am running Mosquitto MQTT broker on the localhost of my PC and I want to publish or subscribe data through MQTT with Mosquitto from a remote IP (another PC). Both the PCs are connect to the same Wifi public network. I have disable the firewall of the two PCs and I am able to ping one another on command prompt. I have look up on several websites and tried editing the config file of the Mosquitto MQTT broker by adding these two lines.
listener 1883
allow_anonymous true
I have started the Mosquitto broker by executing mosquitto -c mosquitto.conf -v
The following is the log appear the mosquitto start.
C:\Program Files\mosquitto>mosquitto -c mosquitto.conf -v
1665133477: mosquitto version 2.0.15 starting
1665133477: Config loaded from mosquitto.conf.
1665133477: Opening ipv6 listen socket on port 1883.
1665133477: Opening ipv4 listen socket on port 1883.
1665133477: mosquitto version 2.0.15 running
However, on the publishing PC, it prompts the error below.
C:\Program Files\mosquitto>mosquitto_pub -h XXX.XXX.XX.X -t Test -m "Hello World" -p 8883 -d
Error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
The situation is same for subscribing. I am currently using the latest version of Mosquitto 2.0.15. Can anyone help me on this situation? Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Alternative to Cloudflare tunnel if I can't open port 7844 and no root access on hosting server

I have a linux server hosting an app that I want to expose using my namecheap domain name.
The network that the linux server is behind seems to be blocking port 7844, docker error:
"ERR Serve tunnel error error="DialContext error: dial tcp xxx:7844: i/o timeout" connIndex=0 ip=xxx
ERR Unable to establish connection with Cloudflare edge error="DialContext e rror: dial tcp xxx.:7844: i/o timeout" connIndex=0 ip=xxx.33
"
Works fine on machines on another network, linux and windows. So looks to be the network, which I can't port forward on.
I found SirTunnel: https://github.com/anderspitman/SirTunnel but this requires sudo on my siteground server, which isn't possible.
Are there any free alternatives I can use? Or a way I can use cloudflare through a different port?
Thanks

Mosquitto MQTT broker not acknowledging external connections (even locally)

I am having some problems with my Mosquitto MQTT broker which I do not understand. I had setup another Mosquitto broker in a Google Cloud Ubuntu 20.04 VM and it was working properly. I have moved to a self-managed Ubuntu 20.04 VM in my university and have not been able to connect to the broker ever since. A little background on the current setup:
netfilter-persistent firewall (am unsure of the exact name of the firewall, this is the name of th service) has port 1883 open
ufw is inactive
the university has 2 levels in the firewall, one in the VM and one external. I have asked for the opening of ports 1883 (I am aware that only port 8883 should be open but this is temporary until I solve my issue)
the VM is accessible from outside the LAN of the university, as checked in https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
I have an Apache webpage running and it is also accessible externally
I have NodeRED using port 1880 and it is also accessible externally
My Mosquitto conf file looks like the following. For the time being, I am not using TLS authentication, as I first need to solve the issue with the connection.
allow_anonymous false
password_file /etc/mosquitto/passwd
listener 1883 0.0.0.0
However, I have not been able to enable the communication when using either the server IP or the domain name. If I attempt to connect using localhost, everything works:
~$ mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t test -p 1883 -u "XX" -P "XX" -d
Client (null) sending CONNECT
Client (null) received CONNACK (0)
Client (null) sending SUBSCRIBE (Mid: 1, Topic: test, QoS: 0, Options: 0x00)
Client (null) received SUBACK
Subscribed (mid: 1): 0
If I attempt to connect with the domain name, I never receive an acknowledgment and the connection is never established:
~$ mosquitto_sub -h domain.com -t test -p 1883 -u "XX" -P "XX" -d
Client (null) sending CONNECT
Client (null) sending CONNECT
Client (null) sending CONNECT
Client (null) sending CONNECT
Client (null) sending CONNECT
Mosquitto seems to be properly bound when running the lsof -i command in the console:
mosquitto 2177304 mosquitto 5u IPv4 10127120 0t0 TCP *:1883 (LISTEN)
mosquitto 2177304 mosquitto 7u IPv4 10127251 0t0 TCP localhost:1883->localhost:47236 (ESTABLISHED)
I would appreciate it if anyone could guide me into what could be the root of my issue. If more information is needed regarding my setup, I will gladly provide it.
Thanks in advance to all!

Mosquitto - EMQX bridge connection name

1) How to determine the Mosquitto bridge connection name.
The snippet written below is from the EMQx documentation (http://emqtt.io/docs/v2/bridge.html#mosquitto-conf)
connection emqttd
address 127.0.0.1:2883
topic sensor/# out 2
the connection name - emqttd is written on what basis?
2) I have a tcp connection open from EMQX on the host 172.22.25.53 and port 2883.
When i try connecting from the same system. It works absolutely fine. But from a different system, I get this error
C:\Program Files\mosquitto>mosquitto.exe -c mosquitto.conf -v
1542182003: mosquitto version 1.5.3 starting
1542182003: Config loaded from mosquitto.conf.
1542182003: Opening ipv6 listen socket on port 1883.
1542182003: Opening ipv4 listen socket on port 1883.
1542182003: Bridge local.AOI146.emq#172.22.25.53 doing local SUBSCRIBE on topic BA/#
1542182003: Connecting bridge emq#172.22.25.53 (172.22.25.53:2883)
1542182003: Bridge AOI146.emq#172.22.25.53 sending CONNECT
1542182003: Error creating bridge: Unknown error.
1542182003: Warning: Unable to connect to bridge emq#172.22.25.53.
My mosquitto.conf file is:
connection emqx
address 172.22.25.53:2883
cleansession false
topic AB/# both 2
The connection name is the value after connection in the configuration file. As described in the bridge section of the mosquitto.conf man page
e.g.
connection foo
Will result in a connection name of foo.
172.22.25.53 is in the reserved range 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255, I'm going to guess you are running emq in a docker container and you are trying to access the container using it's Docker internal IP address. You will need to expose the port on your host machine to be able to access it from a remote machine.

ios push notification connection refused

I have a AWS server which runs centos 7 operating system. The server has CSF installed and is a production server. My site is running fine on it (PHP). Now when I am trying to send a notification to ios I am getting connection refused error. Then when I did telnet I got the following response:
telnet gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com 2195Trying 17.188.166.22...
telnet: connect to address 17.188.166.22: Connection refused
Trying 17.188.166.23...
telnet: connect to address 17.188.166.23: Connection refused ...
In outgoing ports aws server security allows all traffic.Why is this happening ? Do I need to open inbound ports for 2195? I read in this site that its not required.
