Bug: Windscribe server list is outdated

[giorgiooriani]

Is this urgent?

No

Host OS

Synology DSM 7.2

CPU arch

x86_64

VPN service provider

Windscribe

What are you using to run the container

docker run

What is the version of Gluetun

RunningRunning version latest built on 2024-05-04T16:22:29.394Z (commit ef6874f)

What's the problem 🤔

The 10gbps servers from windscribe are not on the list of servers. I updated the list using the command line but they are still missing. I updated the file by hand but obviously I would rather have the list auto update and not have to mess with it by hand. With the manually inserted servers it works (logs provided).

Example hostnames missing: zrh-317-wg.whiskergalaxy.com, zrh-264-wg.whiskergalaxy.com.

@qdm12 is more or less the only maintainer of this project and works on it in his free time.
Please:

• do not ask for updates, be patient
• 👍 the issue to show your support instead of commenting
  @qdm12 usually checks issues at least once a week, if this is a new urgent bug,
  revert to an older tagged container image

[qdm12]

The automatic update takes data from https://assets.windscribe.com/serverlist/mob-v2/1/321321321

On the JSON data returned, you can see zrh-264-wg.whiskergalaxy.com has different nodes, for example ch-019.whiskergalaxy.com. Checking in the updated servers.json this server ch-019.whiskergalaxy.com is part of the update so these servers are effectively part of the gluetun data, it's just that it doesn't have that wireguard specific hostname, although it also has the x509 tls verification name zrh-264.windscribe.com (cannot be used for filtering servers though).

I don't think there is a point having the wireguard endpoint (parent of 3 physical nodes), whereas we can have the more specific node hostname.

[giorgiooriani]

I didn't notice there were multiple nodes. Thanks for that. However I am getting the following when running the updater:
ERROR updating server information: getting servers: Get "https://assets.windscribe.com/serverlist/mob-v2/1/1715082639": context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

[github-actions]

Closed issues are NOT monitored, so commenting here is likely to be not seen.
If you think this is still unresolved and have more information to bring, please create another issue.

This is an automated comment setup because @qdm12 is the sole maintainer of this project
which became too popular to monitor issues closed.

[qdm12]

However I am getting the following when running the updater:

It works fine for me, double check your Internet works etc. (it takes 1 second for me)

[giorgiooriani]

Still getting the issue. Internet works fine and updated nordvpn servers when I was using nordvpn. Seems to fail on windscribe. I noticed the url is different in the error compared to your previous message.

[qdm12]

The last bit of the url (1715082639 for https://assets.windscribe.com/serverlist/mob-v2/1/1715082639) is for the cache and is meant to be random for every request. If you try to access it for example with:

docker run -it --rm alpine:3.19
apk add wget
wget -O- https://assets.windscribe.com/serverlist/mob-v2/1/1715082639
exit

Does it work?
