Good day. Running syncthing on Ubuntu 18.04. I have tried syncing over internet unsuccessfully. The devices just dont find each other.
Followed the docs and tried the following:
Forwarding port 22000 on my home router.
Using a public relay.
Neither work.
Any advise is appreciated.
Thank you.

You appear to have disabled everything except a relay listener, and it can’t connect to that relay. Don’t do that.

Thank you. Can you please advise what should be enabled.
I didn’t specifically disabled anything.

It looks like you, or someone, has entered relay://145.239.234.88:22067/?id=...
in the sync listen address field. Set that to default
.
Thank you.
I did that. I thought I was supposed to do that according to the docs.
So both devices set to the relay.
I understand not?
Only the “external” pc should be on relay?

I don’t know what you’re trying to do or what docs you’re following. I recommend to start with the basics and the defaults.

thank you.
I tried establishing a standard connection over the internet and it didnt work.
What I did was forward port 22000 to the pc in my network. It never connected.
I then tried to connect using the relay documentation
https://docs.syncthing.net/users/relaying.html#relaying
I picked a public relay and added it to the sync protocal listen address. I added the relay info to both units Im trying to connect. That dindt work either.

That relay documentation is pretty misleading: Synthing will automatically use relays out of the box. I’ll try and find time tomorrow to clarify it, unless someone beats me to it.
The default settings should just work. I suggest you start over from zero and see of you have issues.
