Issue being that you have no 'real' constant IP address when on a hotspot; using the proxy setup is about as reliable as you can get.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">And, I've tested on AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile here in Bucks County; since you're not seen to the infrastrucure as accepting connection (using the proxy, the calling station sets up the connection), they don't block the connection from you to the proxy.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">I've been running a hotspot connected node for 6 months, and, rebooting once every day, it's been as stable (on Doug's branch of the original allstar code) as I could ask. (and the data usage on a network of 10-14 repeaters in between NYC and PHL is less than 2GB a month on a 5GB service)</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Just thiught I'd throw that out; can connect you with my proxy provider for more insight if you want.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br>--<div>Bryan wb0yle</div><div>Morrisville PA</div><div>Sent from my iPhone 6S.<span style="font-size: 13pt;">..No electrons were harmed in the sending of this message.</span></div><div><br><div><br></div></div></div><div><br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>Bryan,</span><br><span></span><br><span> One other note.
