Cannot connect to nodejs app on port 3001

ph flag

I have two nodejs applications (server A and server B) running on Ubuntu Server 16.04, and two clients (client A and client B) that make requests to that servers.

Server A listens for requests from client A on TCP port 3000 and everything works fine. Server B listens for requests from client B on port 3001. In this case, client B never manages to connect (Error: connection timeout). If server B is configured to serve on port 3000, client B works fine, but client A fails to connect to server A on port 3001.

No matter which port I try, applications only work on port 3000.

Tests from localhost:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
