I feel a bit dumb because I can't figure out how to use this on my m1 mac. I installed the package, edited the configuration file to include some of the public peers, and tried to click on some yggdrasil links on the website. It keeps timing out. Am I doing something wrong?



From your text;

after configuring you need to restart the service.

you can run 'yggdrasilctl getpeers' to see if it actually connected to any peers. Use https://publicpeers.neilalexander.dev/ to find some local ones.

Ygg does not include a DNS, so use IP addresses directly. Notice that in most webbrowsers you need to add square brackets to indicate an IPv6 address.

Also notice that since yggdrasil automatically does end-to-end encryption, a lot of websites don't bother with ssl. So explicitly type http and turn off any plugins that turn your http into https.

Example: http://[21e:e795:8e82:a9e2:ff48:952d:55f2:f0bb]/


It's very possible the website has links to nodes that are no longer up.
