    Hi everyone,

    I would like to subscribe to LoRa payload’s topic on the conduit’s internal MQTT Broker but I cannot connect from outside the conduit. I use MQTT.fx client on my computer (we are both on the same local network) but the connection to the broker won’t succeed.
    I took a look at mosquitto.conf file but I can’t find out why the connection is refused (plus there is non authentification by default).
    Does any of you guys managed to do this ?
    Many thanks,
    Best regards,

    The broker is attached to the loopback interface and is not available externally. There is no security to allow local applications to communicate without the overhead via MQTT.

    The firewall will block incoming connections by default. So this will also need to be opened.

    It would be better to run an MQTT client on the Conduit to connect to an external broker with connection security and forward messages through it.
