FAQ / Troubleshooting

  • Ensure you run the app as Administrator (Windows) or sudo (Mac)
  • On Windows, the Administrator prompt is automatic
  • On Mac, run.sh will execute GeoPort as sudo

Mac Specific

It seems like on MacOS Sonoma (my machine), GeoPort will not run properly when it is executed from the Downloads folder
Extract the zip outside of the Downloads folder, like into /Users/username/GeoPort and it will run fine!

Windows Specific

Windows Specific

If you are running as administrator and receive Unable to create tunnel within timeout there is most likely a Windows firewall issue. When GeoPort runs for the first time, you receive a network access prompt when the tunnel adapter is created. In some cases, only a single option is selected. You need to select both Public and Private networks.

If GeoPort is already installed, you can change this setting by going into:

  • Control Panel - System and Security
  • Select Allow an app through Windows Firewall
  • Select Change settings
  • Scroll down to the entry for GeoPort
  • Your options here are:
  1. Allow both Public and Private
  2. Delete the entry for GeoPort. Re-run GeoPort and when prompted to allow connects - select both checkboxes

Known issues

  • Windows multi-device support. You can connect a single device to simulate location. If you wish to choose another device. You will need to close down GeoPort and run it again. This is not vital functionality but something I am looking to resolve. Unfortunately it's the way the "wintun" driver is behaving.

On the positive side - multi-device support on Mac is amazing and with a little update in v1.0.2, it is incredibly fast and efficient to switch between different devices!
