Description

Step 1: Please describe your environment

  • ZeroNet version: 0.6.2
  • Operating system: Windows 10
  • Web browser: _Chrome
  • Tor status: Can't be loaded
  • Opened port: no
  • Special configuration: ____

Step 2: Describe the problem:

I recently installed the new Google File Stream app as they are discontinuing Google Drive app soon. Google File Stream completely blocks ZeroNet. If I quit the Google File Stream application then ZeroNet loads fine. I have tried this several times just to be sure. Google File Stream may be using the same localhost port as ZeroNet?

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Run Google File Stream
  2. Then run ZeroNet
  3. Open browser and try to navigate to ZeroHello
  4. Page will not load

Research direction
Investigate the specific port ZeroNet uses (default 43110) and check if Google File Stream is occupying that port or a related port. Try running netstat or similar tools to identify conflicts. Consider adding a configuration option to change ZeroNet's port to avoid conflicts. Review any existing logs or error messages from ZeroNet when it fails to start with File Stream running.
