Two Zerotier 1.6.1 nodes, same LAN, no firewall, not pinging each other via Mesh - LAN Ok

[TiagoM]

Hello,

This was basically working yesterday, I woke up this morning just to see that my two nodes can’t talk with each other.

Node 1 is at my bare-metal Ubuntu 20.04.1 Desktop (bedroom), IP 192.168.0.10/24 - Zerotier IP - 172.30.89.102/16 - online

Node 2 is at my LXD bare-metal Ubuntu 20.04.1 Container in a PC (garage), IP 192.168.0.11/24 - Zerotier IP - 172.30.201.13/16 - online

They can both ping each other via the LAN’s IP (192.168.0.10 can ping 192.168.0.11), I can ssh between then and there is no iptables/nftables firewall.

But they can not ping each other via Zerotier Network!

I can’t see each other LAN’s IPs at the zerotier-cli listpeers either.

What to do?

I remember that with Zerotier 1.4.3, when this happened, I could just leave a forever ping running and the link was kept alive… Strategy not working anymore? Seems like…

Thanks!

The zerotier-cli listpeers shows an empty line where it was supposed to be my other local LAN node, look:

root@zerotier-container-1:~# zerotier-cli listpeers
200 listpeers <ztaddr> <path> <latency> <version> <role>
200 listpeers 3a46f1bf30 185.180.13.82/9993;12770;2582 86 - PLANET

200 listpeers cfc58508d0 - -1 1.6.1 LEAF

Where is the LEAF’s IP (my other node)?

Is there any workaround available to try to fix this problem?

[TiagoM]

I removed all Zerotier nodes with:

apt purge zerotier-one -y
rm -rf /var/lib/zerotier-one

…then, I deleted the Zerotier Network out from my.zerotier.com and recreated everything again from scratch, using all the defaults at the web dashboard.

It’s working now!

root@desktop-1:~# zerotier-cli listpeers
200 listpeers <ztaddr> <path> <latency> <version> <role>
200 listpeers 3a46f1bf30 185.180.13.82/9993;13143;2944 85 - PLANET
200 listpeers 5445n127b1 192.168.0.11/9993;1175;1175 54 1.6.1 LEAF
200 listpeers 62f865ae71 50.7.252.138/9993;13143;2812 217 - PLANET
200 listpeers 778cde7190 103.195.103.66/9993;800;2974 59 - PLANET
200 listpeers 992fcf1db7 195.181.173.159/9993;13143;7977 114 - PLANET
200 listpeers a0cbf4b62a 34.94.72.151/50268;800;6637 84 1.6.0 LEAF

I can finally see my LAN (192.168.0.0/24) peers and they can ping each other again!

Maybe something was messed up during the upgrade from 1.4.6?

I’ll send another message if it fails again.

Cheers!
