[BUG] Connection lost (via LAN) when PPPoE connection change

[Lope]

Example:
Server listening on port 1000
Server LAN IP: 192.168.0.23
Connect to the server on 192.168.0.23

Server establishes a PPPoE connection to the internet, gaining an internet IP eg: 196.41.22.44
UltraVNC Connection is Lost upon PPPoE connection establishment or loss.
Its not a big deal, but rather annoying.

Is there some way to keep UVNC Connections Alive? They die quite often on my LAN, which should not be.

This will happen on UVNC 1.0.9.x ... I suppose you are using one of these version.

It is because these version implement a feature ... auto re-bind the IP if there is a change, so establishing a PPPoE will triggger this operation. Unfortunately this requires a restart of the uvnc service, thus all active connection will be dropped.

Of cource, the auto-rebinding of new IP is an usable & necessary feature, but the present operation hadn't taken the consideration of the impact of established connection.


For you situation, before any new version is released that have this problem solved, one possible way is to switch back to the 1.0.8.2, which doesn't have the above-mentioned feature.

Of course, there are a lot of changes/improvements from 1.0.8.2 to 1.0.9.x, you should take a look on them to see if there any impact to your configuration if going back to an old version.
