'MYIP' status page says I'm not feeding, ADSBx.org says I am.

    Title mostly says it all.

    I have a feeder that has been offline for a couple of months due to some window repair work that was going on. I reconnected it yesterday and found that the 'myip' page says I was not feeding. I re-ran the ADSBX scripts for both 1090 and 978 and find that both the /adsbx and the /ax978 plot pages are working, and the MLAT status page shows me syncing fine.

    Just to try something, I screwed around with my router and put the feeder in the DMZ, but that didn't fix anything.

    Any ideas or tips? Thanks!

    Don't do DMZ ... not necessary and if you have the standard password will get the feeder compromised.

    Could it be the feeder is on a different network than the device you're querying the /myip page from?

    Even as I typed that I realized it was a terrible idea and undid it, but thanks for the sanity check.

    That made me finally take a look at the IP address that the myip page was reporting and the lightbulb went on. I saw a different IP from every computer on my network. It was the new Private Relay function on iOS and MacOS. I turned that off (just for a minute) and verified all is working. Thanks!
