zerotier and flex8600 stoped working after 4.2.18 WHY

Lars Pettersson · May 24

ZeroTier works but Radio does not respond after update ??????

dm5xx · May 24

Confirmed from my side (Flex 8600M, 6600): Having a stable zerotier running, Firmware starting from 3.x.x to 4.1.5, all working fine. Can access and work with Smartsdr on a Flex < 4.2.18.

On any Flexradio with 4.2.18, i can see the Radio remote, i can click on it, its starting up, i can see for a short time the frequency boy/ruler, i see the box "client connected from ip", all as usual. But than i get the error "SmartSDR for Windows has lost connection to the radio. Please reconnect". Smartsdr is closed.

Crosscheck with AetherSdr 26.5.2.1 => No issues. Can see Waterfall, no error.
Crosscheck with Smartsdr 4.1.5 => No issues. Can see Waterfall, no error.

@FlexRadio I can help for searching/hunting the bug when necessary

Mike FYI, The setup and install you did for me this weekend is working perfectly. I use it on my iPhone with both the 8600 and AU520. Version 4.2.18. Windows 11

Thanks for great job.

Lars, yes I connected directly to the iPhone to the 8600 and also to the AU520, both radios on the newest SmartSDR version.

SmartSDR was not running but it works with it running also.

I turned the Wifi off on the phone to be sure it was using the outside network.

This is the first time I have been able to remotely access my Flex radios!

Thanks Lars and Tom, AetherSDR and Marcus Version for IOS seems to make things different - and this still works. Great to see i could help you with it. But Windows User with Zerotier running for months or years will be still doomed, when using 4.2.18 :/

Come on Flex! Lots of us are stuck with CGNAT, with no other real choices. You need to work with Mike to ensure ZeroTier works … assuming you want to sell HW to some of us.

I had to set Fixed IP in Smartsdr for IOS on my Iphone then it worked,

So something in the 4.2.18 are screewd up

I have a bug opened for this: SMART-12837. We are not aware of anything that changed in the network part, but we will look into it. Any further data points would be greatly appreciated.

We may need some very detailed steps on how to recreate this in a lab environment as things like this can be hard to fix when you can't actually capture the problem.

it seems like a good idea for your team to have a ZeroTier RPI set up for testing as quite a few of your customers use it. I am sure Mike would set it up for you with their standard D40 configuration.
