Port 1200 timed out.

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking

I’m installing a FlightAware receiver on a network which has a proxy server and get port 1200 timed out when trying to send data to FlightAware.

The receiver works fine on a network with direct connection but I’m wanting to set it up in another area but the only network available is behind the proxy server.

The Raspberry Pi with Jessie installed has the proxy details setup in the .bashrc and can can get out on port 1200 successfully.

$ wget -qO- portquiz.net:1200
Port 1200 test successful!
Your IP: yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

Any suggestions what else needs to be configured to get this receiver to send data to FlightAware?

Thank you.

Currently you need to be able to make a direct outbound connection, there’s no support for proxy servers.

If you can get a tunnel outbound to piaware.flightaware.com (e.g. socat might do this, IIRC it knows how to do a HTTP proxy CONNECT) then you can point piaware at the tunnel with the “-serverhosts” / “-serverport” options. mlat won’t work.
