Can't you just look at the GPS to see the model?

MTK-3301?  That is a really old model, very marginal documentation.
Discontinued in 2012!  It only supports one SBAS channel.  It does
support RTCM, but not RTCM3.  Your NTRIP is RTCM3, so that will not
work.

Put that GPS on the shelf and get a modern one for $10.

Yeah, the MTK-3301 looks to be NMEA only.

That is a bit old.  Known bugs.

The URL of your feed.

Yeah, too far away to be useful.  And not going to work since it is
RTCM3 and your GPS model predates RTCM3.

You probably should not have given the whole world your username
and password.

Please define "big epx, epy and epv"?

That will not help, you need RTCM3 which your GPS does not support.

Yup, ancient GPS.  Throw it away and buy a modern one.
