Workaround For Advertising Wrong Ip

Hello!

 

Currently we can't "bind" the IP btsync listens to or rather advertises.

 

In my experience, if a btsync-instance advertises a wrong IP, the instance may not be found quickly by other peers. This is especially annoying if it is supposed to be a "server"-instance. In my case, I have a vserver-instance and btsync thinks its IP is "127.0.0.2". DHT helps, but it's turned off by default.

 

Please Devs, fix that! (Haven't looked, but I'm sure it's already on the Wishlist)

 

I've hacked a workaround for Linux for now, see https://gist.github.com/sebknzl/8027609
