Title: Full node? Post by: Vene on April 26, 2015, 06:39:14 AM Hi, since I have one computer that I use a server (always on) I would like to support the network with full node. Which I am doing already.
But I have one problem, every couple of days my IP address changes and of course when that happens BT core blocks incoming connections and lets just 8 outgoing connections. When I shut down and open BT core everything again runs fine (until the next IP change). How to avoid that? Can i somehow tell BT core to use my dyndns address that is forwarded to port 8333 of my server? Thx Title: Re: Full node?

Can i somehow tell BT core to use my dyndns address that is forwarded to port 8333 of my server? No, the bitcoin protocol only exchanges IP addresses not DNS names: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification#Network_address Maybe you can write a script that is called when your external address changed and restarts bitcoind. It's time that IPv6 gets used and we can all have our own static IP address. Title: Re: Full node?
