    Hi Guys here is my Dump1090 settings:
    dump1090.exe --device-index 1 --interactive --net --net-ro-size 500 --net-ro-rate 5 --net-buffer 5 --net-beast --mlat --gain -10
    pause

    I have tried playing with settings in VRS but for some reason I cannot see my feed on custom feeds.

    I'm a newbie here myself, but I cannot connect to my feed either. I know that there was maintenance being carried out on Saturday and it is possible that it is continuing today. One of the regulars will be along in a while to confirm or assist. It would be handy if there was some way of indicating when maintenance is taking place so that we don't all spend hours trying to fix a problem that does not really exist.

    Try looking at MDA-PL's receiver. It covers Netherlands and Poland. If you can see that then you at least know that your VRS configuration is working. What computer are you using? RaspPi? Can you see if adsexchange-netcat-maint.sh is actually connecting or spending its time in a sleep loop - which would indicate that your feed is not being accepted by adsbexchange server - which is exactly the case I find myself in although I have been feeding successfully for 6 days now.

    Hi janrinok, when I look at MDA-PL on the custom feeds and I select that receiver I can see aircraft and I'm using dongle setup with Dump 1090.

    OK, so you know that the connection from ADSBEx to your VRS is good. So it looks like your feed to them is not getting where it should - mine is doing exactly the same thing. What OS are you using - linux or windows?

    Well, I am a Linux man so I know very little about getting my hands dirty in Windows code.
    You can obviously see your data in your own browser, I think that you said you are using VRS. (Have you tried typing '127.0.0.1/dump1090' in a browser, just to see if you can see your data anyway?)

    My feed has just re-established contact so maybe yours will do likewise shortly...

    Yes, but that is using VirtualRadar. My dump1090 generates its own display without having to start VRS directly. Same display but using OpenStreetMap data, not Google.

    I'm just reading up on VRS feeds and using Windows 10, so that I can try to suggest something that might help

    Sample config of dump1090-mutability for Windows (tested):
    dump1090.exe --interactive --net --net-ro-port 30002 --net-beast --oversample --phase-enhance --mlat --lat 51,66135 --lon 19,35375 --gain -10
    Link to Windows MLAT-client: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b6fvn3qg1nymewi/MLAT_client_WIN.zip?dl=0
    Sample config of MLAT-client for Windows:
    mlat-client.exe --lat 51.66135 --lon 19.35375 --alt 130 --user USERNAME --input-host localhost --input-type dump1090 --input-port 30005 --output-host feed.adsbexchange.com --output-port 31090 --no-udp
    pause
    VRS has to feed ports in 53xxx range.
    Success

    MLAT server is down. If you see [date, time] mlat-client 0.2.1 starting up and connected, disconnected messages then client is up and trying to connect.
