  1. @Arrowstar Thanks for the info!! Just found this on the Oracle site: ngrok is supposed to be invisible to the machine running KSP. It should make the RTS system think that it is connected directly to 127.0.0.1 on the machine running KSP and KSPTOT Connect. I'm wondering if it is looking for the remote machines IP address instead of accepting multiple connections from the single localhost address? Each remote computer would be trying to establish a connection to the system on 127.0.0.1. ngrok displays this line - Forwarding 123abc456.ngrok.io -> 127.0.0.1:8282 So each machine would put the 123... ngrok url into the RTS remote host box. ngrok would then forward all traffic to the primary machine running KSP but it all shows up looking basically like another instance of KSPTOT trying to establish another RTS connection on 127.0.0.1 on the primary machine. It might help to have a way to specify a port in the RTS connection window to be able to lock down which port each computer communicates on. I'm not sure what amount of work that is for a potential solution but it would certainly make troubleshooting a lot easier. I have had multiple computers connected and streaming data from one computer with KSPTOT Connect, so I know the system can handle multiple connections from different machines. The issue seems to lie in establishing the connection using this tunnel service. Most likely due to port assignments or something. I'm going to keep hacking away at this and see if I can get something going. I'll report back with any progress or lack there of haha Thanks again for the really cool software and the help! Have a good evening!
  2. Good afternoon everyone! First of all I love this software! Arrowstar, you are a legend. Second, I would love some help with an issue I'm currently running into. I am using KSP to run a small simulation event in the classroom. I teach a space flight course and I would love to have the students open KSPTOT on their computers and see the telemetry update real time as I launch a rocket on my PC. The issue is our University network is set up in such a way that giving out my IP address to each student will not connect to my local computer. I know I could set up a physical local network but that would be a bit of a pain to rearrange the computers and network just for this class. Instead, I was hoping to use something like NGROK to expose my local machine to a public URL. I have some experience with NGROK but I was unable to get KSPTOT to accept an NGROK URL in the RTS connection window. NGROK gives a random URL like 123abc45y.ngrok.com - they give this in both HTTP and HTTPS. This URL tunnels directly to my machine and ends up at 127.0.0.1:80 (or whatever port I choose). Does anyone know if the RTS in KSPTOT supports a public URL in the RTS connection system? If it does, I'm trying to get the ngrok settings correct so that I have the correct port exposed on the localhost machine running KSP and KSPTOT Connect. Thank you all a ton! Excited to get this working.
