I just upgraded to VOXL SDK 1.3.3, and am trying to connect QGroundControl our Sentinel via a private 5G network. My ground control PC is able to SSH to the drone, but I'm not able to establish a MAVLink connection. voxl-mavlink-server, voxl-px4 and voxl-vision-hub are all running. I've noticed that voxl-my-ip returns the WiFi IP, not the 5G IP, so I'm wondering if the services are bound to the correct interface.

@pthomason restarting voxl-mavlink-server seems to have restored QGroundControl connectivity with the 5G already connected.

@pthomason Anyone have thoughts on correcting IP bindings, or the list of services that need to be restarted to notice a new 5G connection?
