Firmware Networking Changes?

Has there been any networking changes with SmartSDR in recent versions that would break access over a VPN?

As discussed in https://community.flexradio.com/discussion/8024282/port-forwarding-issues-remote-connection#latest I have a setup that tunnels the radio connections out over a VPN to a cloud server to get around the CG-NAT problem. Since a few months ago this has stopped working although nothing has changed with my setup

    No.

    SmartSDR does nothing that impacts any VPN.

    If your VPN solution now blocks UDP broadcasts from going out on the 'net' then your client software will not be able to find the radio to connect to it.

    It is a common practice to not let broadcast data to tunnel through a VPN in order to ensure the VPN tunnel is not swamped with unnecessary traffic.

    That is where I would start looking.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
