Is there a target Success Rate that we are hoping to achieve? We’re at 77% now, which is a fair bit better then test #1.

It probably depends on which company is your service provider. If you know your way around computers first look and see if your router ip displayed in the router settings page match the ip that is shown if you go to (www.integrity.st , page owned by a non-profit foundation). If it don’t match you are probably behind a cg carrier nat. If you would just like to try and switch to a public ip and test if it solves the problem then try search for public ip/ipv4 on your internet service provider web page or contact them by mail or phone and ask them for a public ipv4 adress. You can also google search to see if others which have the same ISP as you have had similar problems.

I was about to ask the same question. These connections are being dropped isn’t it, so this is tried before getting at XOR-level? And using gossip a 75% could be good as there are always enough connections that do work?

Looking good! Woooooooo!
Glad to be part of history.
One issue… am trying to test over protonVPN straight after, even when registering the new ipaddress
the client does not connect.
When I return to the origional address it does work.

Testing from a WeWork location without VPN, I get a similar error to the one reported by @Avi. Tried these conditions 3 times and encountered that error every time.
When I put on VPN (in the same location), I’m able to connect.

FYI I connect no probs with my VPN on, but without it it fails and tells me to try again later.
I’m using a hotspot on my mobile broadband to connect. Here is the failure message:

So… left the office a couple of hours ago.
Went the long way home.
Cracked open a beer.
Logged on to the faithful old work laptop.
Fired up the test… and I’ve got 52 attempts at 100% success! 
(edit: spelling correction - I’ve a reputation to uphold!)

Mark - you’ve broke it! 
Is it reproducible?
I know that @nbaksalyar will be more than interested to see what’s going on.

Yes perfect ! Bonjour de Nantes.
After a few minutes, I’m stuck on “All available peers have… 10 secondes”, but nothing happens after 10 secondes. Is that normal or does it mean that the test is over and I should better start a new one?

- that is perfectly normal - it will check every 10 seconds but won’t report back until it has something interesting to say.

That just means that you are connected to everyone on the test currently. It will keep trying to find new people every 10 seconds, if there is anyone new will then be included
