"Notifications not supported" while connecting to remote geth node via rpc

  • [v] I've asked for help in the Mist Gitter before filing this issue.
Version: `0.11.1` (Ethereum Wallet)
OS & Version: windows 10
Node version: `geth 1.8.12`
Number of blocks synchronized: 0

Starting Ethereum Wallet with remote Geth node (fully synced) gives an error:

[ERROR] ipcProviderBackend - [39mSend request failed { code: -32000, message: 'notifications not supported' }

GUI appears, but its state isn't refreshed after start. Ethereum Wallet start script:

Ethereum Wallet.exe  --rpc http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port

geth start script (on remote Ubuntu host):

/usr/bin/geth --fast --cache=2048 --rpc --rpcport [port] --rpcapi "admin,debug,miner,shh,txpool,personal,eth,net,web3" --rpcaddr 0.0.0.0  

Ethereum Wallet 0.10.0 with the same node doesn't give this error.

p.s. Connection to node is established using vpn tunnel.
