<div dir="ltr">TJ: I'm using a commercial VPN service, IPvanish, as suggested by David (KB4FXC). I'm pretty sure he has used the service successfully for Allstar. I've got some work-related chores to catch up on this morning, but I hope to carve out some time this afternoon to troubleshoot this situation more. Thanks for the suggestions. <div>

To clarify, if it's your "iPhone hotspot" for your BBB data connection, you will need to use a different device with echolink installed that can use another data source (cable, DSL, neighbors wireless, ect) to connect. Then you can watch the logs while connecting and see what's going on.<br>
