Most likely, your rc-local.service is failing. Remote.It Device Package has 3 systemd service files which depend on rc-local.service. Here’s how to override that:

copy the following files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system:

- remoteit@.service
- connectd.service
- schannel.service

In the copied files in /etc/systemd/system, edit them to remove the dependency on rc-local.service as shown:

After:

After rebooting, your Remote.It systemd services will no longer depend on rc-local.service and should start up OK. If you have any further issues please send an e-mail to support@remote.it for quickest response.

Thanks!
