sanning of multiple network interfaces/selection of default interface #44

Closed noah1510 closed 3 years ago

noah1510 commented 4 years ago

At the moment warpinator only scans one network interface (which you cannot select in the settings). If you have one device which is connected to a wireless interface and both devices are connected to the same wired network. warpinator cannot establish a connection between them since device 1 only scans the wireless network for devices and device 2 only scans the wired network for devices. While device 2 detects device 1 it cannot establish a two-way-connection.

It would be nice if you could select the default interface that will be scanned or if warpinator could simply scan all interfaces for devices.

Selecting a specific interface is definitely in the works. I'm not sure about connecting with multiple interfaces, however, but we will see.

Interface selection implemented as part of b9f17af46e52576d5fc0c084e6d7e6db67245f42.

Zeroconf seems unreliable regarding multiple interfaces - I can configure it to only listen on a single one, but it still finds hosts from others, and I end up having to filter remote out based on ip address (which isn't perfect).

If you want to experiment with removing this filter, you can remove the return here in /usr/libexec/warpinator/server.py: https://github.com/linuxmint/warpinator/blob/1.1.2/src/server.py#L140-L143 (current release only). If this is something that may be useful to disable, I can see about making it a setting in the next dev cycle. I probably won't be revisiting this before then.

Is it possible to select the IP yet in version ? Warpinator is definitely grabbing the wrong IP address on the PC.

Version: Stable 5/2/21?

mtwebster commented 3 years ago

Assuming you're using the flatpak, I haven't updated the flatpak version yet to include the recent changes. I will in the next week or so probably.

I tried to use the: add-apt-repository ppa:clementlefebvre/grpc but I got this error:

Err:15 http://ppa.launchpad.net/clementlefebvre/grpc/ubuntu focal Release 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.85 80] Reading package lists... Done

mtwebster commented 3 years ago

what distro are you on?

ioogithub commented 3 years ago

I am using KDE Neon 5.22 which I believe is Ubuntu focal. Should this ppa work in my case or is it only specific to Mint? I saw an article that suggested it should work with any Ubuntu 19+

mtwebster commented 3 years ago

No don't use the ppa, check out the readme: https://github.com/linuxmint/warpinator#ubuntu-2004-related. That should work fine.
