I have a chinese clone that works on port 5001. I am using my own machine as a host for traccar service. So, my device keeps on going offline and online and upon checking on the logs I find this:

So I have searched around and the solution closest to what I was looking for said that another device is attempting to connect to that port. I am pretty sure that that is my device so thats off the table. I however realised that its IP keeps on changing. What could be bringing these changes?
Your device keeps reconnecting.
Does this make it a device issue or is it a common issue with chinese clones?
Don't know. Could be either.
Maybe the device is releasing the ip and your ISP is giving a new one or you have a fixed ip for the device?
No, the IP is not fixed. My thinking is that the device keeps on turning off and on. But I am not sure as I do not have direct access to the physical device
Can anybody touch the device, turning it on and off? (some devices allow to disable power button via sms command but i don´t know if you can send commands to that device)
I do not think someone is tampering with it. I have tested with similar devices I had and they are working perfectly. So maybe the problem is a faulty device or poor installation. I'll try to reset it and see if anything changes
So, I finally figured it out. The problem was that the simcard in the tracker had no airtime on it hence it kept on disconnecting. I loaded some airtime on it and everything has been perfect since.
Thanks again!
