I figured out that it can be a problem with boinc-client itself:

root@vps2:/# service boinc-client start
* Starting BOINC core client: boinc [ OK ]
* Setting up scheduling for BOINC core client and children: [ OK ]
root@vps2:/# nc -v localhost 31416
localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] 31416 (?) open

And after a couple of seconds:

root@vps2:/# nc -v localhost 31416
localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] 31416 (?) : Connection refused
root@vps2:/# service boinc-client status
* Status of BOINC core client: stopped

Having a clean installation of Ubuntu 14.04 I use a simple way to get boinc to work:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install boinc-client

That's all, Initially it should work, and works like a charm on my vps. But when I'm trying to setup boinc on another vps, I'm having the same error 'can't connect to local host' when trying to attach a new project\get anything\check status etc.

root@vps2:~# boinccmd --project_attach URL auth
can't connect to local host

The only concern I have is that the port 31416 is'n working. For example, I have a clean installation of ubuntu 14.04 on another vps hosting and have this result with netcat command:
root@vps1:~# nc -v localhost 31416
localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] 31416 (?) open

Checking the same port with CLEAN ubuntu with the same netcat command:
root@vps2:~# nc -v localhost 31416
localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] 31416 (?) : Connection refused

It's really confusing, because I have no luck with vps provider support, they keep saying that there's no firewall or port restriction from their side and that it must be a problem with my local settings.
I'd greatly appreciate any help.
