Title: Satoshi client does not update when run through a VPN Post by: picobit on November 12, 2013, 02:54:20 PM When running the Satoshi client (Bitcoin-Qt) while I have VPN enabled (Mullvad), the client often does not get new blocks. It quickly gets eight connections to the network, but apparently none of them hand out any blocks. I have heard that there are many "leaching" servers by now, perhaps if I get one of them it refers me to its peers, and behind a VPN no-one else can find my client.
Is there anything I can do to avoid this? Title: Re: Satoshi client does not update when run through a VPN Post by: Eternity on November 14, 2013, 01:11:26 PM Check your firewall something might have blocked the connection after that
