Feeding RB24 from Windows Using "Radar Box Data Sharer 1.20" Without a DVBT

[abcd567]

Since 2015, I am feeding Radarbox24 using their lightweight Client "RadarBox24 Data Sharer 1.20.exe" Please see screenshot below.

This client can be downloaded from:
http://www.airnavsystems.com/download/rb24/RB24DataShare120Setup.exe

This client has a limitation: It requires a source of data on port 30003 of Windows. It is not capable to connect to port 30003 on a RPi with dump1090-fa.

In past I have been using a DVB-T dongle plugged into Windows PC, and ran either dump1090-win (by Malcolm Robb) or JetVsion's RTL1090.

Instead of using a dedicated DVB-T plugged into Windows computer, I decided to use port 30003 output of dump1090-fa running on my RPi.

Since the the Windows Client "RadarBox24 Data Sharer 1.20" is NOT capable to connect to any port outside Windows PC on which it is running, I created on Windows PC, a "Port Proxy" of RPi's dump1090-fa's port 30003. The "RadarBox24 Data Sharer 1.20" was able to connect to this Port-Proxy, and started feeding Radarbox24. :)

I created Port-Proxy on Windows 11 by following method:

(1) Started Windows PowerShell as Administrator
(2) Issued following command in Power Shell to create the Port-Proxy:

Note(1): the local IP192.168.12.23 used in these commands is the Local IP of my RPi running dump10190-fa. Please change this to Local IP of your RPi

Note(2): the command below is verlong and it's right-most part may not be visible directly.
Please scroll right to see and copy it in full.

Code: [Select]

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=30003 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 connectport=30003 connectaddress=192.168.12.23



(3) To Chech Status, Issued following command in Windows Power Shell

Code: [Select]

netsh interface portproxy show all


The output of above command is as below:

Listen on ipv4:             Connect to ipv4:

Address         Port        Address         Port
--------------- ----------  --------------- ----------
0.0.0.0         30003       192.168.12.23   30003


(4) Removing / uninstalling the port proxies:
The Port-Proxies created by above netsh commands are persistent, and do NOT disappear on reboot of Windows Computer.

If at any time you want to permanently remove / uninstall these proxies, use following command in Windows Power Shell (run as Administrator).

(4.1) To clear ALL proxies with one command:

Code: [Select]

netsh interface portproxy reset 


(4.2) To remove one proxy at a time:

Code: [Select]

netsh interface portproxy delete v4tov4 listenport=30003 listenaddress=0.0.0.0
