UDP broadcast (ForeFlight output) on all interfaces #221

Closed TwinFan closed 5 months ago

TwinFan commented 2 years ago

Current Situation / Problem LiveTraffic only broadcasts on the „local“ network, which won‘t reach a connected VPN.

Suggested Solution Broadcast on all interfaces as X-Plane does also.

Benefits Reaches more ForeFlight receivers in VPN setup situations. Better replicates what X-Plane is doing.

Additional context Forum post.

Specs seem to have been updated. ForeFlight now recommends using unicast instead of broadcast. To determine the unicast address, the ForeFlight app itself broadcasts its address. Let's hope we can receive that broadcast... ;-)
