Since the newest update (3.2.8) of Autoremote the communication with eventghost is broken

Autoremote can receive messages from Eventghost, but when it sends, eventghost always shows the same error
Previous version of Autoremote works fine. please downgrade the newest version, till the fix is done

Hello! Not the person who created this post but I've been facing the same issue.

I can receive mesaages on Autoremote Lite (testing with Lite to decide if full version is for me or not) and can also run a task on Tasker when Eventghost sends a mesaage. This works when both my Windows device and my phone are on the same WiFi and with a VPN running on both. 

But when I try to send a message to Eventghost, either through the Autoremote Lite app or through a Tasker action, I get the same error as in the post on Eventghost. I also receive the following errora in the Autoremote Lite log (masked some personal info):

Error sending: Server doesn't seem to be available 
Error sending Text: "message" to W10: Error doing request: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
Error sending: Server doesn't seem to be responding 
Couldn't connect on local IP. Trying on public IP
Sending message through Wifi on IP W10ip:port
Sending message through Wifi on IP W10:port
hasLocalIp true;hasPublicIp true;tryWifiOnOtherNetworks false;ipInSameRangeAsMe true;isInSameRange true;isWifiEnabled true
Sending: Text: "message" to W10...
SettingsList - mDialogFitsSystemWindows exists for null
SettingsList - mDialogFitsSystemWindows exists for Advanced settings

This happens regardless of whether the VPN is on or not (on either or both devices). Also tried with sending just one or two characters as a message since it's Lite. I also checked my Windows firewall settings but everything seems fine (given eventghost is receiving something to generate an error that should mean something is working?)

I haven't used the Chrome method because I don't use Chrome and would prefer not to (just been aiming for general degoogling for some time). Is that the only way this can work? 

If you need any more details please let me know. Thank you for all your work!

The problem occurs only if I send messages from the newest Autoremote directly to EventGhost, so now I'm using redirect over chrome extension as a workaround

Hi. Sorry for the late reply. How are you sending messages to EventGhost? Is it directly or via Chrome message forwarding? Thanks in advance.
