I had the same problem in Windows, so probably not.

sorry, you have had KAD go firewalled after 'so long' for unknown reasons,  in windows too?

[gav616]

I'm convinced this is related to the problem discussed here;

http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=12600.0

notice people saying after 5  - 10 hours KAD going firewalled or disconnecting.
-
In my case it's going firewalled and connecting to a buddy I don't need.


(Edit the Topic title to mention it's a  KAD-only problem please, ed2k is not effected.)

[gav616]

The recent changes to KAD (10270-10273) seem to of fixed the problem.

hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Well, X is <= 2 atm, so you should wait a bit longer. 

[gav616]

true, I'll keep an eye on it.

(I wish the stats tree in amulegui would come back , it's randomly disappeared  )

[gav616]

It took longer this time, but still went firewalled

[gav616]

I've found out, that, when this firewalled state occurs, I can just push 'Bootstrap from known clients'  to get a HighID.. without resorting to a Disconnection / Reconnection scenario.

So what about a periodical automatic check which does some Bootstrap ?

Does this "Kad going firewalled" have any noticeable effect, like reduced speeds, less search results etc? Maybe it's just a cosmetic effect...

The fact it's connecting me to an unneeded 'buddy' (when I clearly don't need too) then, yes. Firewalled people put a strain on the network.

Maybe it's just a cosmetic effect...

I only use the  remoteGUI so maybe...

sorry, that's BS, I've just had to disconnect/reconnect to get a HighID

I'am going stop bumping the thread, because without knowledge of  the source code I have noting left  to offer .

No, that's working. I meant the firewalled detection might be malfunctioning.

[gav616]

If I do leave it, it does automatically sort-it-self out, eventually;

2010-09-17 23:03:31: Connected to Kad (firewalled)
2010-09-17 23:56:28: Connected to Kad (ok)

But the fact it went firewalled  in the first place (..and connected to a buddy) for 53mins,

...that's not 'normal'.

[gav616]

can we change the thread title to something along the lines of, KAD's 'firewall check' .

[Stu Redman]

Sure.
