  • Automatically blocking co

    Hmmmm... which setting would I want to set if I wanted to tell synchronet not to allow the port to be reused by another process?

    On Linux, that'd be REUSEADDR = FALSE

    Thanks. This has been updated!

    I also see that IPV6_V6ONLY = 1 . What does that one do?

    From https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/ipv6.7.html

    If this flag is set to true (nonzero), then the socket is
    restricted to sending and receiving IPv6 packets only. In
    this case, an IPv4 and an IPv6 application can bind to a
    single port at the same time.

    If this flag is set to false (zero), then the socket can
    be used to send and receive packets to and from an IPv6
    address or an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.

    Since I don't use IPV6 here, would I want to set that to zero/false? It
    does not appear to be causing any issues (that I know of).

    I'd just leave it set as it is then.
