  1. Relay server with Port 443 (https://)

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    Following situation. I am an independent engineer and therefore go for longer periods in companies to handle assignments there. I have different locations and therefore I am always in other companies.

    As you have already said correctly, the networks are usually restrictive and allow only certain protocols and thus often enough only http:// (port 80) and https:// (port 443), only a few is more open and even UPnP ports can be opened and Resilio will run as well. But that's more the exception. For that is not possible for me to influence the router configuration in the "external" locations.

    That's why I've been using ownCloud and nextCloud in these environments for years, because the alignment of this software fits exactly in that scheme and works great. Unfortunately, the software is server based and not P2P. P2P is a big advantage. Example. I take a picture and have to put it into a presentation. With P2P I get the photo almost immediately on my computer, with server-based software and with the indexing technology of ownCloud and nextCloud this takes some time.

    Sometimes, therefore, and because of the P2P technology, I usually take Resilio, where that is possible. In the home network, I have it everywhere, where necessary. Because of this port history now, I have to still dodge. Syncthing could not always control the relays so that in case of doubt the port 443 is used. I tried that again and again and since some month that worked and since then I use Syncthing in parallel with Resilio and no longer ownCloud and nextCloud.

    This works because I have set special ignore lists. This is not a big issue with batch files and works fine, but sometimes I have stress with that because sometimes file structures change for the software operation and then I have to adjust all files in batch mode. All of that is not the ideal solution, even if it works well in the end.

  6. Where is Resilio uploading to if all my other devices are disconnected?

    Dear Timbo, you do not understand what he means.

    If various folders are set up on the server and I use Sync Pro and licenses on all devices and the devices are connect among themselves, and see on all devices my folders from the server and I can connect folders manually. These folders will be linked by default and automatically to the default folder on all configured and licensed systems.

    He is right because it is so.

    When I set up a device, I have to remember to set resilio on the device so it does not automatically sync the directories after connecting a folder. Then this automatic does not take place.

  7. Relay server with Port 443 (https://)

    I do not understand your attitude.

    For this I need a VPN software that does not interfere with the system, especially if I also use computers of such a company. What VPN software can do what you mean?

    Otherwise, I find your attitude a bit strange, to say that I can not use such a software anyway. You basically speak against yourself. In all the companies I can not change anything, not even the firewalls. But - I'm allowed to use: http: // (port 80) and https: // (port 443). So I'm allowed to use the software that works on it. Because my favorite Resilio is not working, I dodge to Syncthing, ownCloud, and nextCloud. Syncthing I take because it basically works more or less as well as Resilio. So, you're talking against you, because that's why I turn to your competition products, whether I like it or not. And you think I'm alone with that? Then I like to leave you alone.

    I do not like doing such detours, because it involves some administrative work, because the directories overlap with Syncthing and Resilio, which I use in such companies. Everything works, so no problem. It would be nice if Resilio also had Relayserver, which can dominate the port 443

    A list of valid Relays.

  11. Relay server with Port 443 (https://)

    In many times I use my computers and Smartphones in a company environment, which are restricted and closed. Mainly the ports 80 and 443 are open and requests to open the ports 3000 or such like that is not accepted by the IT departments.

    Since Resilio's Relay servers do not work with ports 443 and 80, I'm forced to evade. Either I then use a ownCloud portable client or Syncthing, since the former already uses web-based only these ports and the second can provide corresponding Relays with these ports 443 and 80.

    This has the consequence, that I have to use Syncthing for the same directories in addition to Resilio, that's not very clean, but in principle it works with a few special ignore settings.

    But it would be better if Resilio could be operated with relay servers with the ports 443 and 80th Would that be feasible?

  14. Sync Home Pro License device without Internet connection

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    Im using Sync Home Pro with a license connection to device A.

    Further I use device B, C, D, E, F etc. With device A the license is connected and Sync shows the related peers to the other devices. Now, if the devices in different locations and normally connected over internet, all peers are visible. If now the connection between device A and the others are closed, the devices B, C, D, E, F etc. can not see the others and also no Sync is possible, also if the devices are in the same network.

    Why I have this condition, and in which way I can change that?

  17. Locking files?

    in Sync Troubleshooting

    Posted

    The duration of open files seems making a difference. I also work with Office and some other popular software and if I store a file of all software and close that application after storing the file, in every time the locks goes away. Is the time between that is longer, I have also the lock problem.

    I think it´s a right and owner problem.

  24. BTsync v2.3.8 | Synology DSM 6

    in Sync for NAS (Network Attached Storage)

    Posted

    You must uninstall BTsync. But I make this in this way, that I make with WinSCP a copy of the folder. I stop the service, copy the folder, uninstall BTsync, modify DSM, install BTsync, stop the service again, copy all files back, start the service. I think, you have DSM 6.0.1 and the BTsync 2.3.8 for DSM 6?

     

    I also install now DSM 6.0.2 and it was enough to stop the services. Uninstall was not needed. After Updating DSM 6.0.2 I start the service and it runs as before.
