  1. Any Way To Limit Only To Lan?

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    Cerberus97,

     

    Let me elaborate. If you have 3 peers (A, B, C) syncing inside network, 2 of them (B and C) are forced "net only" settings, i.e. no tracker/DHT/relay, while one (A) have default settings. In such setup they are going to sync fine on LAN.

    Now 4th PC (D) with the same secret appears in the internet. A and D are going to "see" each other thru tracker. And A can communicate B and C in LAN. A will tell B and C about D's existence and IP, so B and C will leech data from D as well.

     

    So if you want to limit some peers to LAN, you have to limit ALL of them.

     

    Hi RomanZ,

     

    Thanks I understand what you mean. However, I will be using this only on two devices, one my stationary desktop and other my mobile tablet.

     

    So I don't think that will be a problem. I don't plan on sharing the 'secret' with anyone.

    P.S. Sorry was out of town last 2 days.

    Note, that if you have just only peer in LAN which contacts outside world and there would be another peer with same secret - it will let all other peers in LAN know the location of outer peer and they will connect outside.

     

    Hi RomanZ,

     

    Sorry didn't understand this part.... got your previous statement and I have enabled it. I just have to start its use which I will as soon as I buy a tablet to go along with my PC.

    Cerberus97,
     
    I would also give a try to "lan_use_tcp" advanced preference, which might affect your speed. Please also let me know how much files do you have in your sync folder and how big are they (in general, sync of huge amount of small files reduces speed significantly).

     

    Hi RomanZ,

     

    I'm yet to start use of this software properly but I have a limit on download/upload per month. So if the syncing is done through LAN and not via internet that would be great.  

     

    What I tried today was that I turned on the modem but I took out the internet cable, and I was still able to sync files between my pc and my tablet. So this sync does seem to be using LAN and not the internet.

     

    I'll report once i do the logging.
