I have installed syncthing on my Windows 8 laptop and wanted to mirror files to my PC at home. However, the global discovery is 0/2 even after I allow inbound rule for port 22000 and 22026
Can it work without global discovery?
Hi!
Did you see this help? https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/wiki/Firewalls-and-Port-Forwards
Yes, there is also local discovery which is preferred over global discovery.
If it is not working, could you check that your router / accesspoint is allowing communication between the LAN and the Wifi (assuming the PC is connected by LAN and the Laptop by Wifi). My router has that option.
Yes i have read it. I have read other topics as well regarding my issue. Then there is “port forwarding” which I am not familiar with. I use DSL connection on my laptop which use ZTE modem provided by ISP, not much as a router. The PC use similar connection.
I want to try syncthing as replacement of BtSync
I realise that my condition might be preventing me to use syncthing.
note: to access this site I need to use a proxy as my ISP blocking my access to *syncthing.net/*
Can you ping the IP of the discovery server? It might be just enough the replace *.syncthing.net with an IP.
It seems that I can not ping the discovery server, even though I already configure IE using automatic script (*.PAC file)

Syncthing does not work through a proxy.
Will it work if I change the use of proxy to OpenDNS or any DNS Forwarder?
I’m not sure what those are, but DNS is not the (only) problem - syncthing needs to be able to establish a TCP connection to the other side. If there’s a proxy in between that prevents that, they won’t be able to connect.
