(Android) Zerotier keep stop working after 1.10.3 update

I had to uninstall and install the latest version, re-add the network and it’s back working!

22

Having successfully gone back to 1.8.6, this morning I updated to 1.10.3-2 and I still have the same problem. Unable to make any connection via the vpn, app switches off after a short while. Cut off from my home LAN. Hopeless

Further update. Now uninstalled 1.10.3-2 and reinstalled from Google Play. Didn’t lose settings this time but I still have all the problems outlined above. I REALLY don’t want the hassle of going back to 1.8.6 again!

23

Tried 1.10.3-2 now with my s21. Its better but still not stable. The app says online but my zerotier web says not

Update. The app landing page has the connect “button” as on but if i click to open info about the network it says not connected

24

Samsung A50. Slider is in ‘On’ position, but I’m still offline. App version is 1.10.3-2

25

Same here, I am using a redmi note 5a prime and running 1.10.3-2 , however i keep getting connection timed out when for example i try to ftp to my laptop

26

After reinstalling the app, and adding my phone as a new device to the network, I am back online. Let’s see if it lasts…

27

Reinstated 1.10.3-2 on my Moto G7 Power (Android 11) as new device (again). Connection more stable, icon appears at top for first time, connects to linux machine on LAN but not Win11. My Moto G100 (Android 12) shows none of these improvements from 1.10.3-1 and remains useless

28

Please describe the trouble with 1.10.3-2 on your Moto G100: what you are trying vs. what is happening.

29

Could you give the precise wording or a screenshot of what is timing out?

I am not a techie. I have described my problems above as fully as I can. I have a home LAN with Linux, Win10 and Win11 devices. I have Moto G7Power and Moto G100 phones. All have Zerotier on them and, until 48 hours ago, I had no problems accessing files on the LAN via my phones when away from home via other wifi services or 4G SIM. With ZT 1.10.3-2, I switch on the ZT network, button goes green, says connected but no “key” or ZT icon appears at top of screen. Whilst indicating “connected” on app and also in the ZT dashboard, the phone is unable to make any connection with any of my LAN devices either by WiFi or 4G. After a few minutes the app switches from green automatically indicating offline. When I downgraded to 1.8.6 everything functioned perfectly on both phones. The Moto G7 Power on v1.10.3-2 is only partially functional.

Mine has stopped working again…

32

fwiw, I had the same problem on an Samsung S20+ and “fixed” it by turning ipv6 back on.

The ZT web interface was showing that my phone was connected but didn’t display the external IP. Turning IPv6 back on resulted it the external IP showing up and my being able to connect to my devices again

33

The weirdness just keeps coming! I had IPv6 on on my Moto G100. I just switched it off and now I have the same behaviour as my Moto G7 Power, namely the vpn and ZT icons have appeared top of screen, I can now access my linux box on LAN but not Win11 pc. Methinks it’s not so much the actual settings as the change which jolts something into action at least partially and for a while. Still very unsatisfactory considering how well it worked before this “improvement”.

34

Disabling ipv6 has got it working for me again. I don’t remember if had that disabled before having to uninstall.

I just want to make it clear that I am in no way complaining! Just reporting what’s happening on my end. Zerotier has been absolutely fantastic, and the only way I have found to successfully connect to my home network externally.

Ditto. See my opening remarks before reporting my issues earlier in this conversation.
And a final update for the day. After the “IPv6 toggle” on both my phones 1.10.3-2 now seems to establish a much more stable connection, VPN icons showing on both phones, good connection to Linux and Win10 shares on LAN - BUT NOT on Win11 machine! Whether IPv6 is on or off seems to make little difference once the setting has been changed once or twice.

36

Same here. All android devices. Started with 1.10.3-1 through 1.10.3-2 and still continues through 1.10.4. Can reconnect if I start/stop 3+ times, but then only briefly. And the recent “fix” supposedly released earlier today fixed nothing.

37

Same problem here. Samsung s20.
App version 1.10.3-2
Edit: same problem with 1.10.3-3

38

Same problems here:

  • Samsung tablet S4 1.10.3-2

  • Samsung Galaxy Active Pro 1.10.4 (Multiple devices)

39

Samsung s21 here. Still problems with 1.10.3-3

After install of 1.10.3-3 things seemed to be worse than ever but after a few restarts and IPv6 toggles it turns out to be about the same as 1.10.3-2. certainly no improvement.
