EgiGeoZone GR02 error - with test

[Ltek]

Setting up for the first time... always get error GR02 (timeout establishing a session with PHLocation).

HS3 on Win10
Win 10 FW set to allow HS3 both Private & Public, ANY port, both TCP & UDP (2 separate rules in control panel)
Internet router FW TCP & UDP open with internal & external set to same port #s - same as in PHLocation, of course.

I have 15 other port forwarding rules in my FW, those all work so I don't think my FW is blocking.

thx for the help!

From a web browser on another machine within the same LAN as your HS3 machine, try the following url

http://yourhs3server:phlocationport/phlegigeozone

Are you prompted for credentials or does the page timeout?

Win 10 FW set to allow HS3 both Private & Public, ANY port, both TCP & UDP

Need a rule to to allow to HSPI_PHLocation.exe, not just HS3.exe.

[sooty]

You actually need to create a Windows Firewall rule for the port that the plug-in is listening on.

To confirm that it is a firewall issue, you can try temporarily disabling the Windows Firewall and see if that url then works OK.

I figured out the Firewall

ONLY thing that works...
Firewall Rule that opens the Port you are using, with under Programs = ALL programs that meet the criteria

DOES NOT WORK...
FW rule for HSPI_PHLocation.exe - no matter if ALL or Specific port.

... this REALLY needs documentation - the Wiki does not have any of the info I've had issues with

Although not fully documented step by step, there is some basic info here:

http issues

and

obtaining the device ID

I Highly recommend putting in the Firewall info I have above.

I made thousands of Firewall rules over the years ... PHlocation didnt work with FW like other EXEs typically do.

The only rule that worked opens that port for ALL apps... that is not normally needed. Its not needed with HS3 or any other app I use - the norm is that you specific the EXE, then allow all ports or specify a port.

thx for the help

The reason that the firewall needs to be port as opposed to exe based is that the plug-in uses httplistener and not tcplistener. Changing this has been on my todo list for quite a while but for some reason I haven't gotten round to it.

The next release will be able to use HS3's built in web server to receive the data so will work via MyHS with HTTPS, removing the need for open ports.

I will also make the change so that it becomes exe based for those that don't want to go down the MyHS route.

excellent news!

Please do (save us from MyHS). The last thing I want is 'another' middle man that, from my opinion and usage, brings no solid added value.

@Sooty
Just checking if this was done?

So can we now use the same port for PHlocation (under PHlocation settings) as we do for HS3's web?

thx
