cakruege Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hi,according to the user guide:lan_encrypt_data - if set to true, will not use encryption in the local networka) the user guide is wrong and "encrypt = true" means encryption is activated the variable name is truely :-) idiotic and "encrypt = true" means encrytion is deactivatedHow does BitTorrent Sync decide if a peer is local?By ping time? By IP-adress?greetingsCarsten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kos13 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yes, we should adjust User Guide .... done Sync decides it by IP address, it is local if it belongs to the following ranges:10.0.0.0/8192.168.0.0/16169.254.0.0/16172.16.0.0/12127.0.0.1/8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Sync decides it by IP address, it is local if it belongs to the following ranges:10.0.0.0/8192.168.0.0/16169.254.0.0/16172.16.0.0/12127.0.0.1/8Kos, will there be a way for users to also manually specify additional IP addresses that should be considered "local" too?Those who use Hamachi, for example, to create a "virtual lan" between their remote devices, will find each connected device is assigned a 25.x.x.x IP. SyncApp should really consider these devices "local" as well, as direct connections can be established to them without needing to go via a Bit Torrent tracker/relay server!

kos13 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 These ip addresses are real, so you might have an issue accessing real 25.x.x.x resource from the VPN. However 25.x.x.x belongs to DINSA, Ministry of Defence of GB, so this might be not a case for majority of users.We might add configuration for this in future.

rdebath Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 IIRC the MOD address space 25/8 is assigned to them but it's used on private networks without direct internet connection.Pragmatically it's used just like 10/8 but actually belongs to the MOD instead of the IANA and you're only likely to run into problems if you connect your machine to an MOD network ... that's probably illegal and will earn you a stint in a military jail.So it's probably safe unless someone else notices... https://blog.wireshark.org/2010/04/t-mobile-clever-or-insane/NB: 192.0.2.0/24 is also unrouted and reserved.NB: Unlike 14/8 which used to be a lot like 10/8 but was rarely used and is now allocated to APNIC.NB: The best is 240/4 these addresses are all unallocated and can be used for any private use you like ... except Windows; Microsoft windows considers these as illegal addresses!?

davidak Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 if lan_encrypt_data - if set to true, it should use encryption in the local network, this would be logically!this confused me most while setting up my configuration.please make it clear and logically.

GreatMarko Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 if lan_encrypt_data - if set to true, it should use encryption in the local network, this would be logically!this confused me most while setting up my configuration.please make it clear and logically.As kos previously reported earlier in this thread, this was a mistake in the user guide, which has since been corrected.So to clarify, if lan_encrypt_data is set to "true" BitTorrent Sync WILL use encryption in the local network Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salzrat Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I don't understand the logic behind these IP ranges.What about 192.168.1.x (what some routers use by default), what about any other local LANs that are not behind NATs?

kos13 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network192.168.1.x is covered by 192.168.0.0/16 range.You can't assign random ip address for your local network, since it may overlap with ip address of external web site. In such case you won't have access to external web site, since it will be routed to some internal machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
