Hello!! So sorry for no updates on my prior posts! You all have been extremely helpful and i have been able to resolve my port issues along with some other odd things i had missed in my rpt.conf files at the repeater site.. However here is my problem I have 10 gigs to work with month after month at the repeater site and I made the mistake after putting the system back online by using ulaw and it ate about 1 gig a day in data alone including the vpn traffic.. Now i have the system up and at the moment i am eating about 50mb a day with registration turned on to allstarlink however i was wondering if there is a way to disable registration or possibly fake back end to another node on my web server which then in turn would handle the data via pass through dtmf of some sort when needing to connect to a node via rf on either repeater. In the past on gsm i typically only use about 8 gigs a month of data however after coming close to going over my data plans at the site 400 mb left till tomorrow i am wondering what other steps i can do when things get crazy but yet still leave my vpn in place if possible.. Also i did notice that my system went into a constant loop after boot up because the vpn hadn't connected i would like to solve this issue as well not sure what is causing it and i know its not a typical setup. We are located in an area where internet is very difficult and using 4glte with external antennas to bring internet into our two repeaters here in Olney.
