  • OK how have I locked only Ham Band Spectrum & Reception

    jksjks

    Okay, that document now has copies of the default stored .json and .csv database files you can download.

  • OK how have I locked only Ham Band Spectrum & Reception

    jksjks

    Ha ha, okay. Not to worry. See our documentation here: http://kiwisdr.com/info/#id-user-marker-masked

    Probably in the admin "DX" tab you used the red buttons import JSON or import CSV on the downloaded files mentioned in the document.

    I guess I'm going to have to add a file in that document that will put everything back the way it was, lol.

  • v1.818

    jksjks

    From the CHANGE_LOG file:

    v1.818 August 9, 2025

      Fixed problem where connections incorrectly originate from the local 127.0.0.1 loopback address.

        When the local proxy service client (frpc) running on the Kiwi forwards packets to the

        Kiwi server they will always have the IP source address 127.0.0.1. This occurs because frpc

        and the server are running on the same computer. To not lose the actual IP address of the

        person connecting frpc puts that IP in a special HTTP header. Well, for some reason, the

        version of the Mongoose web server we use occasionally drops those special headers.

        The root cause could not be found. But some time ago we ported a much more recent version

        of Mongoose to the Kiwi and it doesn't have this problem. So the fix is to simply start

        using this newer version.

         

        Also, code was added to specifically reject forwarded connections with the special header

        containing a local or loopback addresses. This might possibly affect private proxy setups,

        like those using Tailscale or Nginx etc, if they incorrectly use a local or loopback in the

        HTTP header. You can disable this specific change (but not the Mongoose upgrade) by going to

        the admin "update" tab, bottom of the page, and setting "Disable recent changes?" to "Yes".

       

      The SNR strong, wide-band signal filter has been withdrawn.

  • v1.816 breaks all browsers except Firefox, LibreWolf et al [update: fixed in v1.817,818]

    jksjks

    Bug found. My fault (always is). But I'm not going to be updating Mongoose 5 => 7 for a while. Due to the @bwilson issue and possibly others. Too much else of higher importance going on right now..

  • Some servers always disconnect after 10 seconds with kiwirecorder.

    jksjks

    These Kiwi most likely have the setting "Number of simultaneous channels available for connection by non-Kiwi apps" set to "None" (admin "connect" tab).

    The algorithm for determining if a connection is a "bot" connection takes a little while to run (about 10 seconds). And one consequence of this is the behavior you describe. I tried this myself just now to confirm.

  • Unexplained Restarts [auto overnight blacklist updates]

    jksjks

    Almost certainly because I've been updating the IP address blacklist and you have automatic blacklist downloads turned on.

    On the admin status tab is a list of all possible reasons for a nightly restart. The last item in that list "Network tab: Automatically download IP blacklist" is probably set green in your case (this is the default). I can't remember if there's a specific log message when this occurs or not.

    Okay, blacklist pushed with 7 new IP ranges.

  • kiwisdr2 router problems [fixed, board separation]

    jksjks

    So the problem here was a Kiwi purchased from a distributor that was old enough it didn't have the two boards (Kiwi, Beagle) held together via the two nylon standoffs. Vibration in transit was enough to separate the two header connectors such that the Kiwi board was not seen by the Beagle. The Beagle itself was working fine.

    Re-seating the Beagle onto the Kiwi board was all that was necessary to get it working. But it took us a while to realize this had occurred.

  • VDSL filter for the Kiwi SNR measurement

    jksjks

    Well, this entire thing quickly becomes yet another SNR-related rabbit hole. One that I can ill afford at the moment given all the other important stuff I'm working on. I'm only doing it because of a person who is very unhappy the top NZ SNR score is due to VDSL noise.

    I should have never added any SNR capability. The project has actually suffered because of it.

  • I think I'm only allowing 1 user on my KiwiSDR v2. [fixed]

    jksjks

    Yes, because it makes no sense to try and register a Kiwi as being public when there will be no channels anyone can connect to!

    If you want all your channels to have a password then presumably everyone who knows the password also knows how to get to your Kiwi.
