Raspberry Pi 2 problem

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking
1

Hi to all
I have two Raspberry Pi 2s that feed data, site two only feeds to FlightAware and I have no problem with it.

Site 1 feeds to four sites, but from time to time drops the connection to all the sites.

Even though the connection is down, I can connect to the Pi with VNC but not with the web interface.

I have changed the power supply to a genuine Pi one, also changed the wifi dongle but the problem persists!

Advice would be welcome

If it’s a wifi connection, please look here

If you can connect using VNC, that means WiFi is working.
If you fail to debug, and it is NOT a hardware issue, then ultimate solution is re-imaging your microSD card. Painful to think of, not so difficult to do.

EDIT:

If you can connect on VPN, most likely you can SSH also.

  1. SSH and test you Dongle.
    #First install test tool package
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install rtl-sdr

    # Stop dump1090 by one of the following command 
    #depending on which version you have installed
    sudo systemctl stop dump1090-fa
    sudo systemctl stop dump1090-mutability

    #Now run the test
    rtl_test -t

   #If the Dongle is healthy, you will see following output
    Found 1 device(s):
      0:  Realtek, RTL2832U, SN: 00001000

    Using device 0: Generic RTL2832U
   Found Rafael Micro R820T tuner

    No E4000 tuner found, aborting.

    #Now reboot to restore system
    sudo reboot

.

  1. If the above test fails, unplug, then replug the Dongle, then reboot the Pi
