Only one way connection initiation

Hi Tom,

There are a lot of heavyweights answering here but I would still like to chime in since I faced a similar issue with 1 public node and 2 private nodes.

For the public node, confirming UDP port was open in router and restarting update node list service in asl-menu diagnostics section fixed it for me.

For the private nodes, I added the node number of the private node on asl3 in the node I wished to connect to which fixed it.

You could also try it with your setup, maybe it might solve this. In your 42610 asl-menu, add a hub/radioless node 42393 without a password. If it fixes the issue, then the dev team could possibly see whats up with all of this.

Mine would also connect for a second and then hangup. Try both, first the public node way, if that does nothing then the second way.

Yesterday, I suggested that this was looking like a networking issue and asked about firewalls in the server/node, firewalls in the router, whether you are using any tunnels, VPNs, or the like.

The ASL3 Pi Appliance, by default, includes a firewall with a set of rules. Those rules allow UDP traffic for ports 4560-4580 (IAX's default port 4569 and a few before/after). Your port 4888 is outside that range. Did you update the firewall configuration on your system?

Yes, I have port 4888 open through the firewall.

I also installed checked the UDP WAN IP with a stun client to use google's stun server. 'Bottom line there is: both UDP and TCP IP's are the same; so, no issues like T-Mobile .

Also, no tunnels / VPN being used here. I also am using a nonstandard SSH port and it is open for TCP through firewalld. Of course, 4888 is open for UDP.

Is your node lookups DNS or file? If file is in the mix, can you change it to just DNS?

It's currently set to both. I'll try DNS setting.

DNS lookup (or both or file) all have same result.
