Title: How do i limit my connections in ?
Post by: calkob on October 08, 2016, 11:30:27 AM

After upgrading to core 0.13.0 and HD, i have noticed that i am getting a lot more connections in, somewhere in the region of 75 -80 how do i limit this to around 20-30 as it seems to be lagging my system a bit.

many thanks

What OS are you using? If you're using Windows, go to %Appdata%/Bitcoin and create a new file called bitcoin.conf

Insert the following code

Code:

maxconnections=28

The out connection is maxed out at 8 and it won't change. The above configuration will give you max 8 out and 20 in.
