[Opensim-dev] FritzBox 7390 without NAT loopback??

[Dirk Krause]

@gustavo: thanks, I'll look into this!

@teravus: indeed, good point. I wanted to refrain from this option but as a last resort ...

@dahlia: I doubled checked this, and it is ok (esp. not different from before). But I am going to triple and quadruple check. I still suspect I did something blatantly stupid like forgetting the power cord :-) - I still don't believe AVM 'forgot' to implement this.

Thanks for the suggestions!

-- Dirk

The other thing that I have seen help when nat loopback isn't
available is to put your simulator in the DMZ..   not everyone wants
to do that though because of the security ramifications.
