ProScan: Webserver IPv6 support?

[ndebaggis]

Hello, does the ProScan websever support IPv6 addressing? I run a Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnelbroker on my firewall and it would greatly simplify the firewall rules if the webserver supports IPv6 (no need for NAT/PAT). thanks!

I see no mention of IPv6 info in the manual or release notes dating back to ~v17 of @ProScan. I only see IPv6 examples in the manual. It does support DNS though and that is covered in the manual.

Thank you, it appears there is no IPv6 support to bind the built-in ProScan webserver to the IPv6 stack at this point. I was able to get the webserver running with my SDS100 with the serial and 3.5mm audio cabling method but the webserver will only bind and listen on the IPv4 stack.

An example showing the service bound to both stacks (using RDP port 3389):

netstat -an | findstr "LISTEN" | findstr "3389"
TCP 0.0.0.0:3389 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING <- IPv4
TCP [::]:3389 [::]:0 LISTENING <- IPv6

With the ProScan webserver running and using port 5000 I'm only seeing the IPv4 listening line.

netstat -an | findstr "LISTEN" | findstr "5000"
TCP 0.0.0.0:5000 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING <- IPv4

Maybe a good feature request after I purchase.

I see a misake in my initial answer... only IPv4 examples not IPv6. Glad ya got things working. I have the 200 and 100... The 200 has an Ethernet port that does make things a tad easier however it is still IPv4 and the 100 has none of that. As you have found it requires the 3.5mm headphones cable hooked into a PCs' mic port to get the audio. remote monitoring does work great over both via the serial port connection. just be sure to speed up the serial port in Windows as it defaults to 9600.

Send me an email support@proscan.org then I can send you test files.

The baud rate in the Device Manager doesn't matter. That's for legacy modems. The only thing that matters is the scanner baud rate matches the ProScan baud rate.

Done. Thank you!

wow i see so many people with proscan issues, i put mine thru 2 firewalls and a vpn without a problem, READ people READ! go to no-ip and set it up thru there!

You should be able to use just the ethernet cord for sound, shouldnt need a 3.5

Not on the SDS100. Only the SDS200 and BCD536HP.

I am pretty sure you have said this before. Where is that in the SDS? The only serial port setting I can see is for the port under GPS settings. Is this hard coded for other serial services because that defaults to 4800?

The SDS100 appears hard-coded at 115200 on the mini-serial port. That's what mine shows in both Sentinel and ProScan.

Zero issues here. I could just pop it on my static IPv4 but I have a routed /64 and /48 through Hurricane Electric Tunnelbroker plus they have free DNS services so no need for the no-ip dynamic DNS service. Good tip on that service though, thanks.

Correct. The GPS baud rate is variable. The Ethernet port for the serial port data is fixed at 115200.
