Node Red on raspberry PI doesn't send UDP packets, but DOES receive them

Running UDP communication with three devices on my WiFi network:

  • raspberry PI (using the "UDP send" and "UDP receive" nodes)
  • ESP32
  • My desktop computer running packet sender and Wireshark

When I send a UDP packet from packet sender to the raspberry PI, I see it in Node Red (using the debug node). All is well!

When I try to send a UDP packet from the Raspberry Pi in node red, nothing happens. I don't get any errors, but Wireshark shows no UDP traffic (nothing was sent). I have also tried to send a UDP packet using a basic Python script on the Pi, and I get the same result (no errors, but no UDP network traffic sent).

Is there something I should be enabling for sending UDP packets on the Pi?

Where did you run wireshark? On the same device or the destination?

Show us how you have set up UDP node and how you monitor with wireshark including any filters.
