at4roku1 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hello, sorry for this newbie question - I´m not familiar with network things in detail. How can I exlude any syncing over the internet and limit it to the home LAN/WLAN? Thank you for your support, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Please take a few moments to read the Unofficial FAQ, notably the section "Can I force Sync to do local network (LAN) syncing only and not sync via the Internet?"

at4roku1 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Thank you for your quick answer - I´ve just configured my Laptop this way. Do I have to do the same for the PC (synced with Laptop) at home even it will never leave the WLAN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickluck Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hello!I have gone through this some time ago and managed to get this working on BTsync 1.3.Since when I moved to 1.4, though, I'm having again problems. All my peers have windows and bt 1.4. I see peers connected (and actually syncing) even if I'm in a completely different state. Restarting BTsync doesn't help.How can I solve this?I'm on a mobile connection and I only want a couple of folders to sync, not all of them. ThanksNicola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Nicola, Folder preferences responsible for Syncing only over LAN (i.e. disabling tracker, relay and DHT) did not change in 1.4.Could you please elaborate I see peers connected (and actually syncing) even if I'm in a completely different state.?

nickluck Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hi, by different state I meant my peers are in Italy and Netherlands while I'm in Greece now (since 2 days already). As you can see in the screenshot, the folder synced last time this morning, despite me having restarted my laptop 2-3 times in the last 2 days.

RomanZ Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) @nickluck Thanks for explanation. Your issue happens due to fact that Sync remembers last peers it was syncing to, so it can approach them even without LAN discovery or contacting Tracker or DHT. There is no explicit control which can reset the cached list, though you can do the following: 1) Open the preferences -> advanced -> more options2) Set the "peer_expiration_days" to 1 (don't set it to zero, zero means - never setting it to zero means - "do not cache")3) Sync will forget about your remote peers after nearly one day since last contact. Edited September 23, 2014 by RomanZ Updated information on "peer_expiration_days" value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickluck Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Will this actually work?I switch on my laptop every day, so it will contact them daily. Furthermore, do I have to set this on all 3 peers?I connect from within a corporate network, so I guess my IP is fixed. @nickluck Thanks for explanation.

RomanZ Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 @nickluckI've got some updated info - the "0" value means "Do not cache peers". So setting to 0 should help you. And - yes, this setting need to be applied to 3 of your laptops, otherwise other laptops will attempt to connect to your one (and succeed if IP did not change).Also, it is advised not to leave "peer_expiration_days" as zero forever and set it back to some positive value after you reset cache successfully.

nickluck Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Well, then it means I can't do it, since not all my peers can be accessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
