HI, I've trying to create a ratflector on a pi. I used the document written? by N7BU that is on files on this group.?
I even got the ping to my gateway. I opened drats and created a localhost:9000 as per intructions to monitor the ratflector.
BUt on how to setup the ratflector on the internet, it only says that I have? to check "allow all incoming network connection"? and hit the "on" button .?
Then when I run the Drats program on the pi, I see a terminal windows that pops up with some info. But When I do the same with Dratflector and hit "on" the other terminal windows that pops up shows no info at all.
What makes me think that the ratflector program is not working.
I also jumped to another computer to see If I was able to get to my ratflector so I went to radios and created it whit the ip address that I get from whatismyip.com with port 9000.?
So far no lucky running the ratflector on the internet, please if anyone has some other instructions on how to set it up I ll rally appreciate it.
Respectfully?
Jose David

What have you called your Ratflector please?
I'll set up a NET address and see if I can get a response from it.

Well I have not done that last step of renaming it so I' m using to test the ip address that I get from whatismyip.com on the rpi 66.50.50.18
I also used the Port Forward Network Utilities software but I did not list my router. So I did configuration on the router manually under Virtual Services.?
The static IP address (192.168.8.101)
Wan port 9000-9500
Lan port 9000-9500
Tcp/udp
And I still scratching the back of my head jaajaj

As I suspected, it didn't work.

The setup had not saved properly, so I edited it and put the 66.50.50.18 in again, but it still failed.? This time it said;

The best I can tell, either your port forwarding is not working for
TCP connections or your RatFlector is not allowing a connection:
?? $ telnet 66.50.50.18 9000
?? Trying 66.50.50.18...
?? ^C
?? $ telnet 66.50.50.18 9001
?? Trying 66.50.50.18...

Hi David on the ratflector do I gave to add something to path or I just leave everyting in blank??
I think the router is the problem. Even though I downloaded the port forward utilities they do not have the exact model. So I ve tried with some other that look similar on the list as per their instructions on the web.?
I even found some instructions on how to do it manually. But it does not seem to work neither.?
I m waitting for them to find a solution to this challenge. As a matter of fact, their app has some open port verification tool. And even with their program it does not seem to work.?
It looks like the port forward app sends a ping to their site if it comes back then I guess that means is working.
?So far no luck!?

AAR after many attemps I could not make the ratflector work. I even tried on a normal pc. The program that I bought? did not work for the forward port? task. I? tried it on 2 different routers, and nothing.?
The only way I got??a repeater drats works was if they were on the same router. One as a repeater and the other as a client.?
I think I m gonna pass on this task I've been 3 days in a row and no succes at all.?
my only hope is to wait until the developers of the port forward program tell me something on how to fix their lack of routers on the list.??
and or do the next step to make a subdomain and mmaayyybe it could work. ajjajaaajja

HI John thanks for the info. The best I can tell is that the software for port forwarding runs on the pc. I guess that this software once get inside the router, runs some sort of script that is supposed to create the port forwarding inside the router.? The
router that I 'm using is a Huawei b 315s.? It recieves the signal form the internet service company directly, so I do not have a third item between laptop and router. It is some sort of all in one thing, with wifi, lan ports etc.
I have done it manually like on this (see Below) video except for the DNS part that he recommends to open an account on NO-IP to make this specific router to work on port forwarding. And I think that is where I'm stocked on the configuration. The article that
I found under files on drats group.io compiled by Roger, N7BU, mention something about subdomain on page 13 under step 6.4a-c " How to get the pi ratflector on the internet"? ?Honestly I have no idea how to make it happen.? ???

?Today I 'll be taking down some antennas because there is a storm approching to the island hopefully it does
not become a Hurricane. Actually is for that kind of reason that I want to run this ratflector, for emcomm porpouses.?
John sorry if I ask you a little favor please the video
supra?that I posted to see if those set up would do the trick. For thats is exactly what I'm doing manually. (except for the DNS part That I hope it is the missing link.)?

To get a ratflector onto the Internet, people need to be able to find your IP address or a URL that points to that IP address.
?
I have been using NOIP.com for that purpose.? Since most home Internet routers get a Dynamic IP address from the provider, your home’s IP address is subject to change over time.? Once you have an account set up with NOIP.com, they will
give you a URL and you then download a program called DUC that periodically checks to see what your IP address is and reports it back to NOIP so they can adjust their record for your ratflector on the fly to make sure the URL always has the right path to get
traffic to your location.
?
I have been using them for several years.? I had made arrangements for dstarinfo.com to have it listed there.? From dstarinfo.com they set me up as
, but I can also be reached as
which is the address issued by NOIP.? Having this set up was one of the most frustrating things for me, because if I simply told people what my IP address was, the next time something happened, like
a power outage or glitch that caused the equipment to reboot, the IP address would change to something else and no one could get in.? Also remember that your address issued by your Internet Provider and the address issued by your router to the devices in your
home are two different things.? Isn’t technology wonderful?!?
?
Getting the port range forwarding correct is another essential issue.? It requires you to set the ratflector up with a static IP address off your router, otherwise the same issue can occur.? The router is issuing local IP addresses on a
first come first serve basis.? A reboot could cause every device in your home to get reassigned a different IP from the router.? Since port forwarding has to be given a target device to send the traffic to when something comes in on port 9000, the address
of the ratflecter must be stable or else you will constantly have to go in and reassign the port forwarding information to point to the current one for the ratflector.
?
The ratflector also needs the added dependency software listed in the white paper added to the pi so the program will work.?? I’ve been running my ratflector on a Raspberry Pi 3-B for several years now, so I know it can be done.

I ve been trying to get to my "ratflector" from another computer as quick as I turn on the ratflector.?
I create on the client a network connection under radios using the ip address from the server that I find on whatismyip. just to test the connection before it gets assigned another IP .but even though I can not connect to the repeater at least
to see if it is working.?
It is indeed frustrating. I even tried using two laptops to see if the rpi is the problem but same result.?
To sum up Conditions are: 2 laptops one as client and one as server.
The server has an static ip.?
This static ip is also on the router with port 9000.?
Then I turn on the ratflector. With drats as localhost:9000 to see activity. On the server laptop
?
Then I jump to the other laptop which is a client to see if I get connected to server. I go to radio and I create a network with the server ip address I.E
12.34.567.890. When I click on save my belief is that it should go to the server but it never connects. I get an error 10060 .?
So should I get connected to the server from the client without the NOIP as soon as I turn on the repeater????

HI Glenn et Als. I jumped this morning to NOIP. It seems that the account was created succesfully. I m not using the rpi right now run some test, just in case I ve done something wrong on the static ip address on the pi.?
I'll leave this? link here just in case some else is following this topic, now or in the future. I ll also shar this link on how to set up an static ip on RPI which takes another way form that shared by Ron N7BU on the pdf that is on files on this group.io.?
I downloaded the PC version of NOIP DCU on the laptop and it was really easy. I also created a hostname np3jd.ddns.net
SO far?
1. laptop is running on static ip
2. router has been set up a per the video that I previously shared on this topic : Tha includes
(a).creating a port forward with the static ip addres of the pc? under virtual server and
(b)adding the NOIP account under DDNS on the router with NOIP NP3JD user name; ddns.net server
3. I installed the DCU software on the laptop and is on and running.
4. The noip account shows that the hostname is: (a) active, (b)with the pc ip address (c)Type A hostname
BUT jajaja the Router shows under DDNS that there is an acces error. I guess I ll have to wait 24 hours or something to see if the host name is active
V/R

NP3JD?

for port forwarding runs on the pc. I guess that this software once
get inside the router, runs some sort of script that is supposed to
create the port forwarding inside the router. The router that I 'm
using is a Huawei b 315s. It recieves the signal form the internet
service company directly, so I do not have a third item between laptop
and router. It is some sort of all in one thing, with wifi, lan ports etc. All IPV4 addresses are now assigned. Because of that, many ISPs are now using private non-routable IP addresses to their customers. The is the case for Smart Phones that I have, the phone company only issues non-routable IP addresses to the phones. Any the manual for the Huawei b 315 shows that it does not have a WAN port, only a SIM card. Which means you are using Cell Phone Internet. You need to look up the IP address that the WAN port on Huawei b 315s is currently set to. If it does not match the whatismyip.com report, then running a public ratflector is a lost cause. It is very likely that your configuration is: public Internet IP -- ISP NAT private IP -- Your router -- Your network with private IP addresses. As far as software on a PC configuring a router for port forwarding, the only way that works if the router has a remote configuration option that matches the PC software. None of the commercial Nat routers that I have used have had such a documented API. So I would be very suspicious of any downloadable software that claims it can do that. Also it is recommended that UPNP (Universal Plug and Play) be disabled. My current ISP supplied the WIFI-NAT-Router, but I do have the admin password for it. I have username and password for it that can set a limited number of settings. 73, -John

Hello John,
All IPV4 addresses are now assigned.
Any thoughts on how much work it would be to make D-Rats be IPv6
compatible?? IPv6 is clearly the future of the Internet, most ISPs
support it now, and the ridiculous number of IPs you get from your
ISP are all publicly reachable.
If it does not match the whatismyip.com report, then running a
public ratflector is a lost cause.
It is very likely that your configuration is:
public Internet IP -- ISP NAT private IP -- Your router -- Your
network with private IP addresses.
This is not entirely true as a user has at least two more options:
? - The ISP's operated NAT is usually a form of Carrier Grade NAT
(CG-NAT) which should be able to support port forwarding via Port
Control Protocol (PCP) - .?
The enduser will need to contact their ISP to see if they support
PCP for their endusers
? - The end user can setup a VPN with a provider that supports port
forwarding or supports static IPs for their tunnels.? I've heard
good success with vendors like vultr, etc.? The VPNs aren't too
expensive to operate.
Also it is recommended that UPNP (Universal Plug and Play) be
disabled.
I also generally recommend disabling UPnP as most of the router
implementations of that stack are known to have many various
security vulnerabilities (Google it.. it's really bad).?
Unfortunately, some of the CG-NAT solutions out there support the
configuration of PCP via the enduser's UPnP stack.? Again.. the user
will need to contact their ISP to understand how it's done for their
specific network.
