Websocket tutorials (incl. those for Node-RED [[1](http://noderedguide.com/node-red-lecture-3-example-3-7-using-websockets-with-node-red/)]) often used "wss://echo.websocket.org" as an endpoint in order to demonstrate a simple client-server connection.

However, [websocket.org](http://websocket.org) has been shut down in 2021 [[2](https://www.lob.com/blog/websocket-org-is-down-here-is-an-alternative)]. As noted in that blog post, websocket tutorials should therefore be updated, e.g. by using "wss://echo.websocket.events" as their new endpoint.
