WebSocket nodes appear disconnected while being connected

General
1

Hello, I am building a flow with websocket connections using my project Webhook Relay (https://webhookrelay.com/v1/guide/socket-server - it allows receiving webhook without having public IP or configuring NAT/firewall) and it's mostly seem to be working, but it took me a while to figure out that even the websocket nodes are showing "disconnected", they are actually connected and working:

nodered-websockets

Is it a known bug or am I doing something wrong with my configuration?

I will try creating standalone websocket module as well, as creating a flow manually seems quite a long ceremony :slight_smile:
