[Arm-allstar-irlp] Internet & astdb.txt question

[David McGough]

Hi Lawrence,

Interesting. I'll investigate this connectivity scenario.  All my (RPi3B) 
boards are connected to the network via WiFi and have static IP addresses, 
with a OpenVPN tunnel to a central hub.  I've had cases where the AP that 
the RPi boards link to go down and cases where upstream connectivity went 
down---no odd behavior in either case.
