Howdy,

It looks like my IPv4 address changed, so if anybody was having trouble connecting with Hub 3 that'll probably be the main reason.

If you use (or can use) IPv6, you should be OK - my IPv6 address is static.

I need to rethink my DNS for IPv4/IPv6 - I was hoping on having 1 base record that covered both IPv4/IPv6 so that whatever IP you had it would work. But my DYNDNS is linked to another record (that has a different IPv6 address) which is why the BBS doesnt see the IPv4 changes.

I have an idea how to fix it - it would be simpler if IPv4 would go away :)

Alterantively, for folks who cant use IPv6, you can try out ZeroTier - I also have it on the Hub. ZeroTier is a "VPN" of sorts - it creates a virtual ethernet network (I dont have routing configured on it, so you cant route through me, nor me through you), but once you are on the ZeroTier network, you'll get a static IPv4 (or v6) address - regardless of whether your internet is static or dynamic. My ZeroTier ethernet address is static, so as my v4 address changes (or I move stuff around - which I have done recently), you'll still be able to get to the Hub. (Its a little more reliable than managing dyndns addresses - IMHO).

Yell out if you are interested and I'll talk you through setting it up.
