Any pointers for more info? The debian version of the software probe runs on a raspberry pi with raspbian. Any other small device with debian is probably fine as well. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I do have a V1 probe at home, since (almost) day 1 and I had another one dying already, due to the 'ancient' software update which broke a few. So I'd like to do some contingency planning...

No there haven't been any software updates for a very long time. For this reason they should be considered obsolete. However, we currently still support them, and we will try to release new firmware if there is a security issue. It seems that v1 and v2 probes are now starting to die faster. I have no idea what part is wearing out. Unfortuantely, due to corona, we are out of v4 probes. So the best thing to do at the moment is to replace dead v1/v2 probes with software probes.

So knowing whether this is a more widespread issue and possible reasons would help me to decide how much effort to invest in debugging this. as you mention it, one of my v1 probes died on sunday: Your probe 127 has been disconnected from the RIPE Atlas infrastructure since 2020-05-31 21:55:58 UTC. Did this coincide with a software update or something on the control side? Nick
Re: [atlas] dead v1 probe
My v1 probe is working fine. My v3 probe unfortunately is not. IPv4 was out for some weeks (IPv6 working fine), but i fixed it yesterday (changed the usb stick). It's now reachable over IPv4 (ICMP) but somehow it can't register itself...

My v1 probe died a few months ago and the ripe team replaced it with a current one. I guess the v1s are ageing out. — Hugh Saunders
