iFly GPS Forum

Starting with stratux version 0.3bX I've had to disable my Android firewall on the first handshake to get connectivity with iFly. Specifically, it's working now with v0.3b4 with my Firewall enabled, but I have to allow the kernel to have access thru the firewall for the stratux to send heartbearts. but when 0.3b5 comes out, I'll have to disable the Firewall to let iFly talk to the stratux for the first time. Once that's done, I can enable the firewall and the connection survives across reboots. I expect firewall blocking was my problem when I tried v0.3b2, above.

I saw in one of the config files or forums that stratux can allocate (I think) 10 IP addresses via DHCP. I have had a phone, a tablet, and the 740 connected simultaneously with no issues. My SkyRadar supports multiple clients, as did my previous SkyRadar. So it should be no issue.

HOWEVER - my tablet drops connection with the stratus occasionally, but it also drops with other routers so I believe its a tablet issue. I have Googled for the firewall settings as you describe, but my tablet doesn't have a "Firewall" option under Security like The Google describes. How old is your tablet? All the firewall hits I've seen are old, so I'm wondering if the setting has been removed from the current Android releases. Or perhaps you're running a firewall app or antivirus. Mine is bone stock firmware, 5.0.2.
