    Check the log:

    sudo journalctl --no-pager -u combine1090

    The spaces you mentioned are irrelevant, i wouldn't supply a default configuration that doesn't work.


    And yes of course you need to forward the port 30004, that's what i already wrote.
    What's not clear about that?
    The source computer connects to your home router IP, that router needs to know what to with the connection coming in on 30004.
    So you forward that connections on that port to the computer that wants the data.

    Maybe check the target computer dump1090 configuration for 30004, if that's enabled there.

      Thanks Wiedehopf. I am somewhat new to Linux, so please be gentle with me. I am fasinated by this, but I have to take one step at a time. In no way was I suggesting that your supplied data was not correct.

      Port 30004 is now port forwarded to 192.168.1.208 on my home network.

      Not sure exactly where "30004" should be within the dump1090 configuration. However, is the following correct?:

      # Port to listen on for Beast-format input connections. 0 disables.
      BEAST_INPUT_PORT="30004,30104"

        One other point to check. Home network port forwarding of port 30004 - TCP & UDP, just UDP or just TCP? I opted for TCP & UDP.

          You are aware the Home IP will change?

          That's why i wrote you should use dyndns.

          beast input port looks correct.
          maybe check like this if it's actually running on the target machine.
          pgrep -a dump1090

          As for the forwarding, it's TCP. Do you have it forwarded to the target machine?

          The source machine is indicating it can't connect to the target.
          It may be that they are limiting TCP outbound ports as well.
          Not sure which ports the other feeders use.

          But my guess is that you haven't quite setup the forwarding correctly or the IP is wrong.

            Thanks. Yes, aware that IP will change. I have not yet looked into dyndns. I wanted to suceed with proof of concept first.

            Port forwarding changed to TCP. Still no difference.

            Check of pgrep -a dump1090 on target machine produced:
            av6@Aerovision8:~$ pgrep -a dump1090

              Can you show me a screenshot of the port forwarding?

              If you can forward port 80 on the router to port 30004 on the target machine, that might help.
              (wherever your source machine is might be really paranoid and stupid about port controls, but port 80 usually works because hey, you can't browse without it)
              With that forward you'd have to accordingly change TARGET to match the new port.

              And the output of
              ip a
              on the target machine.

              Also are you sure you are using the internet facing IP of your router as a TARGET?

                And, just checking, use combine1090 to forward port 80 to 30004 on target machine???


                Thanks.

                  No, some routers allow one port that's coming in to be redirected to another port on the machine behind the router.

                  Your interface allows that as well.
                  External port 80
                  Internal port 30004

                  Then on the source machine change the TARGET in the combine1090 configuration to port 80 (address:80)
                  also restart combine1090 of course after changing that.

                  This should circumvent possible port restrictions the source machine has.
                  I'm confused though, how are you even connecting to the source machine if it's behind their firewall?


                  Just for confirmation, let's check on the target machine
                  sudo netstat -tl | grep 30004

                    I used to have a Windows 7 Toughbook at my former office, that only sucessfully uploaded to PlanePlotter. I used to port onto it with TeamViewer, but now use Any Desk, which is better IMO. Never had a problem.

                    I have converted several old Toughbooks (all 32-bit) to Linux because FR24 no longer takes Windows data and Plane Finder now only accepts data from 64-bit Windows machines. But, I am very much learning Linux as i go along......

                    The fact that the Linux machine at Gatwick worked fine for all three when tested at home, then fine for PlanePlotter and Plane Finder when at Gatwick does suggest a firewall issue with certain ports. I will work on trying the 80 port test.

                          There is no reason not to use port 80, unless you want to run a webserver on your home IP address

                          And here you can see why it's useless to block all those other ports.
                          Sophisticated malware will try using port 80 to "phone home" anyway.

                          Anyway pseudo security is big these days. Better apply some snake oil to protect from $stuff.
                          I guess it can help against some stuff, but still, it's stupid

                          Glad you got it working!
