Outline-client: Outline Windows Client conflicts with Hyper-v

[killgcd4ever]

As the title says, can outline-client work with windows10 hyper-v now? Several issues mentioned this problem before. As long as the hyper-v function is turned on, the outline-client cannot connect to the server. I tried it and it is indeed the case, may I ask if there is a problem with my settings or does it really fail to work with hyper-v? Will there be a solution in the future? Thank you

Strange, how about people? Do any friends know how to solve this problem?

@killgcd4ever It can be work with Hyper-V. My computer is turned on with Hyper-V and it can be connected to the server.

If you are facing the issue that cannot connect to the server, you may check the dynamic port of Windows 10. I think it is the main problem that cause Outline client cannot connect to the server.

See the below gist to check the dynamic port and fix it. If your dynamic port is start from 1024 port, this mean some program have alter the default setting.

Thank you buddy. Recently I did a little experiment and found that as long as you turn on hyper-v first, and then install outline-client, you can connect to the server smoothly. Otherwise, it won’t work, even if you follow your method

@studentmain @killgcd4ever do you think there's something that can be done on the Outline side to prevent issues with Hyper-v?

It seems many other products are having issues with Hyper-v too:

• https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/3171
• https://github.com/googlevr/gvr-unity-sdk/issues/1002

Make sure it is caused by the Hyper-V port reservation at first. Logging listening port and OS excluded port range in error report should be enough to do that.

If it's caused by that, contact MS and hope them fix or document it is the best option, almost every simillar software are affected by this. But in the meantime, you always have option to roll dice again to choose another port.

In ss-windows, a special error message is the only mitigation. We use port 1080 by default and has an input box for user to change that.
