@networthings status messages are not part of gateway traffic. You should see uplink messages.

Now that Croft has been obsolete and down for a long time, you should use the right router. Traffic to that IP address is going nowhere.

Best is to use the DNS name, but for testing it’s fine to use an IP address. See [New addresses for cloud services: update your gateways](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/new-addresses-for-cloud-services-update-your-gateways/1813)
