MtnXfreeride Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 If I wanted to sync a desktop sitting at another location with its own internet connection, how does it know how to find my home server to backup on? I'm assuming it would store the last IP address used, but eventually my home internet IP will change. If my home IP address changes, how will the off site computer know how to connect again? Is it not 100% peer to peer? Does Resilio sync store this info and keep it updated? I have both computers locally now and its working great, but once I move one of the desktops offsite to its permanent location it will be connected via internet only from then on.

ultrakyo Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Resilio has a global tracker server defined in http://config.getsync.com/sync.conf. They served to ensure that your other peer knows your other device new IP address.

GreatMarko Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Sync and Sync Pro can use a tracker, but can't install a "local tracker service" The link to information on the tracker options within Sync/Sync pro may be found here: https://help.getsync.com/hc/en-us/articles/205458125-Folder-Preferences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
