A lot of unknown joint request in some gateways

[mario]

We have a lot of joint requests in some gateways.

These deveui do not exist.

This issue produces that Internet bytes are consumed quickly

The issue of being flooded with join requests is quite a common complaint in other LoRaWAN forums. And there doesn't seem to be any easy solution to it. Some people have even gone to the effort of tracking down the source of these transmissions to tell them that their devices are badly configured. 

I'm not sure what your question is here in this forum, as far as I know there is no possible way of preventing your gateway from receiving these radio signals that are being broadcast, but you might be able to stop them going any further. Perhaps somebody could tell us whether the gateway can be used to filter by deviceEUI so that the gateway does not send the traffic up to your server (and this will save a little bit of your internet usage).

Hi, 

You can use the gateway's deveui filter to filter out unnecessary deveui join packets

Follow the following link：

https://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Filter%20unwanted%20LoRaWAN%20packets/#H2.4FilterByDevEUI

It is difficult to avoid fake deveui join request packets because lorawan is transmitted in broadcast form. 

you can try to set up a whitelist that only allows your sensor devices to pass through through filtering combinations.

Best Regards
