Hi @Gaël

I just got my back ordered Mitras and was setting it up last evening. I left Control Center open and went to bed. This morning, I can not re-connect. The port is unavailable. This is a very common occurrence.

I have to reboot the P4 to unblock the port. Rather annoying. Web access is fine.

Can you guys please add a simple watchdog to clear the port and reset the listener?
Can you guys please add a simple reboot command to the app/web interface?

Having to physically unplug the P4 is a pain.

Hello,

Maybe you had GHL Connect open on your phone too?
On IOS the connection uses port 10001 as well and only one simultaneous connection is possible on this port.

Did you also try to restart your computer to free up an eventual connection left active by GCC?

Otherwise, if a problem is really true but I would find it surprising because nobody has ever reported such a problem, please open a ticket so that we can direct it to the developers.

Thank you for the response.

No connection from phone - Left Control Center open and went to bed.

I will certainly check to see if the PC had the port locked. I already rebooted, so next time!

Possible for reboot command in Connect menu?
 
I have the P4 plugged into a smart plug, so I can reboot it remotely. It’s unfortunate that this is necessary, but it works.
 
I don’t know if it was the same issue, but I have had situations where I was unable to connect until after a reboot.
