Print Page - Can't connect to my node

Hi all,

I can't connect to my node using bitcoin-cli. The node seems to be reachable from the outside since I get more than eight connections, so I think I've correctly forwarded the posts on my router. Also, https://bitnodes.earn.com/nodes/31.6.41.78-8333/ says my node is online and reachable. I can not connect through the local LAN IP and also not through the public internet IP.
I can only find standard bitcoin entries in the bitcoind log file.

Server:
Bitcoin Client Software and Version Number: Bitcoin Core 0.16.1
Operating System: Linux / Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS
Hardware: https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Q1900-ITX/

ufw is inactive

bitcoin.conf:

Code:

server=1
daemon=1
txindex=1
disablewallet=1

# Connection settings
rpcuser=***
rpcpassword=***
rcpallowip=*
zmqpubrawblock=tcp[Suspicious link removed]cuted on the server directly:
[b][i]bitcoin-cli -getinfo[/i][/b]
[code]{
  "version": 160100,
  "protocolversion": 70015,

  "keypoololdest": null,
  "keypoolsize": null,
  "paytxfee": null,
  "relayfee": 0.00001000,
  "warnings": ""
}

Following commands are executed from my client computer:
Bitcoin Client Software and Version Number: Bitcoin Core 0.16.1
Operating System: Linux / Arch

Try to connect using the LAN IP of the server computer:
bitcoin-cli -rpcconnect=192.168.1.80 -rpcport=8332 -rpcuser=*** -rpcpassword=*** -getinfo

Code:

error: couldn't connect to server: unknown (code -1)
(make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port)

I get the same error as above when trying to connect via public internet IP

connect using a bogus LAN IP, I get a different error:
bitcoin-cli -rpcconnect=192.168.1.84 -rpcport=8332 -rpcuser=*** -rpcpassword=*** -getinfo

Code:

error: couldn't connect to server: EOF reached (code 1)
(make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port)

Any idea? Thanks!
