MQTT messages blocked for MQTT Dash on phone

[Gadjet]

Hi,

I have been using MQTT Dash on my phone to monitor/control things for some time now, since moving to Vodafone home fiber broadband (12/6/23) my app no longer connects to the Cloudmqtt server, I get this error when trying the online WebUI page: -

"Could not connect to WebSocket server, most likely you're behind a firewall that doesn't allow outgoing connections to port 30388"

Does anyone know how I can configure the router  to allow this connection?

Thanks

@Gadjet  No worries, glad that you have got a result.

Unless I've missed something you've posted, all those IPv6 messages are never going anywhere on Vodafone!

[Gadjet]

I've no idea where they're coming from but the app started working earlier on this evening, go figure!

@CrimsonLiar Unless I'm mistaken, the DROP lines are IP4 going by the masking. Aren't the IP6 ones loopback?

ff02::  Addresses are multicast, it's very odd

I will see if I can get my username and password fron Vodafone and use my old router (Asus RT-AC1200) if it can be configured for Fibre use.

Are you on Full Fibre (FTTP) or just FTTC, as that router will need a separate modem to use it on FTTC.

I'm on full fibre with an ONL, doesn't the router just connect to that via the LAN port? It's all new to me 🙂 

[Gadjet]

I just realised that I can't use it anyway as it doesn't have a phone port.

I wouldn't be using the RT-AC1200 router, it's seriously underpowered and it's also unsupported.
