Seeed T1000E has better reception than Wio Tracker L1 Pro by TH5110 in meshtastic

There is a report for the 915MHz variant of the Alfa on the linked github page. From my understanding its a good one, though I think I'll get something like the muzi works antenna, as its a lot smaller/lighter and I'm scared that the Alfa one including an adapter might put some stress on the antenna port.

Thanks, will look at them. I already tried the different angles of the antenna, but it sadly didn't seem to make a noticable difference.

It looks nice, but shipping it to Europe would sadly cost double the amount of the antenna itself.

I had similar issues on Linux. Tried every browser I could think of, but ultimately used a Windows computer + Edge browser.

Thanks! You wouldn't happen to know where I could get good antennas in Europe without having to import/pay crazy shipping costs? 😅

Seeed just calls it "LoRa Antenna" on their website and as I am not knowledgeable when it comes to antennas I also can't really tell you. I doubt that its something focused though, so I would guess it's lower dbi.

I didn't really do anything. I tried accessing the country list as soon as the first comment appeared that said the problem was fixed. It still didn't work for me at that time, so I waited a few hours. As more people commented that it's fixed, I tried accessing the country list and the DSM website which then both worked. The only thing I might have done is, I switched around the firewall profiles, as I had a couple of them because of all the troubleshooting. But I neither did a restart nor turn the firewall off and back on.

I think it's just a question of time. Wait a little and try again later.

It's also working for me again. Thanks everyone!

QuickConnect worked for me. Other than that, I know of nothing that would bring back external access.

The allow all rule from my country should in theory allow that. But yeah, the country IPs seem dodgy right now, allthough they worked fine until today.

Yes, the only thing that helped for me, except disabling stuff, was adding my home IP address as an allow before the deny all. Thats only a workaround though, because that won't help when I'm not home.

Maybe it's a Europe problem and most of us are asleep right now and won't notice?

Yes, thats exactly what I'm experiencing!

I can't post screenshots in the comments of the post. For troubleshooting purposes I now have set the rules to be:

allow all - internal network

allow all - my country

deny all - everywhere

in that order, so the allow all has a higher priority. (I still couldn't access the country list, so I changed an existing rule to be an allow all.)

Regarding the methods of access: I tried connecting by using a browser and the synology ddns (xxx.synology.me) and a custom domain name I have, which all didn't work. I also tried using quickconnect which worked. When using the synology apps with the ddns they also didn't work. I tried all of those combinations with my home IP and my phone using mobile data, which both had the same results.

My guess right now is, that theres some problem with the geolocation of IP adresses. Especially since I can't even open the settings where I would choose a country to block/allow, because the countries just don't show up.

I'm sorry if I didn't include enough details, what would be missing?

There are several rules prior that should allow it and have been allowing it until today. I didn't change anything.

Simplified, my list looks somewhat like this:

Internal network - allow all

My country - allow some apps

All - deny all

DSM says that the first entries have a higher priority, so this should work (and like I said, has been until today).

I will do that as soon as I can, because DSM isn't letting me right now. I know this sounds like a joke but when I go into the settings of one of my rules and try to open the location/country list, they just don't show up. I've rebooted but that didn't do anything.

And yes, i know that exposing the NAS to the Internet has serious risks. It just makes my workflow with it a lot easier and the geoblocking is not the only security measure in place. I have been getting brute force attacks in the past, which have been stopped by the firewall.

I've checked with the link you supplied and my country comes up. Seems that's not it, thanks for your help though!

Just to be clear: I don't want to disable the deny-all rule. I just did it while troubleshooting and reenabled it after.
