OpenWLANMap API refusing connection

Might be an issue with OpenWLANMap rather than this code but I am getting a connection refused error:

Looks like there is a newer libwlocate but the new one is now attempting to do more than just look up WiFi locations and includes GPS and IP location logic. If you attempt to simply use that in OpenWlanMapNlpBackend there is an error due to starting the GPS receiver in a different thread.

It looks like the new libwlocate uses the same port and IP address, so maybe the issue is with the server rather than this code. Or maybe they are blocking my IP address for some reason.

Start by reviewing OpenWlanMapNlpBackend and the libwlocate calls around WLocate.get_position at line 172. Reproduce the connection failure to api.openwlanmap.org on port 10443 and verify whether the newer library's GPS-thread behavior is involved. Done means identifying a confirmed project-side cause and fix, or documenting that the external server is responsible.
