Yes, totally.
“Core error: Unexpected: Could not connect to the SAFE Network” is definately not the kind of message which you want to communicate to new users.
Before I randomly stumbled upon this hint, I spent several - pointless - attempts to connect and try this SAFE thing.
I think it’s a good idea to either communicate clearly to the user what went wrong (and what they could do to improve it) or to not communicate any details at all. With this error message, I assumed the network “core” or something has a problem and that I just have to keep trying in good faith.
Ok, now that my frustration is out of the way:
How can I change / update my IP? I saw that option right in the beginning somewhere but cannot find it now.
My provider changes my IP once every 24 hours.
