Hi Bitcoiners:) I am trying to get my full node optimized for inbound connections by using Tor but also switching to Linux as recommended by many people for security and technical support. Any information regarding the following will be very appreciated! Can I use the Windows version of blockchain data in Linux? Or do I have to download it all over after switching OS? Could you share your personal take on running Bitcoin node on Linux? Also is it possible to copy the blockchain data multiple times to different HDDs and send them to another country where the internet is too inconvenient for the IBD, to run a full node there easier and faster? Is Bitnodes.io 100% accurate about quantitative and geographical data of nodes? For ex. it shows zero nodes in Turkey and Libya. Is this actually true or not necessarily so in case like the use of Tor / VPN hides or manipulates such location data? Please pardon me for any brain pain, as I am a non technical person:) BTC

So I believe my only option for now is to use Tor, right? Tor is the only free option. But if you're willing to spend money, your options are VPN (which allow port forwarding) and static IP (you need to make sure your ISP allow port forwarding/incoming connection with it though).

Like are the nodes over Tor very few that it is not worth using it? IMO it's helpful enough for Bitcoin network. Besides there are about 8K nodes (54%) which use Tor according to https://bitnodes.io/dashboard/, although some of those nodes could be considered as "spy node". I see. I am taking the Tor way then. Thank you ETFbitcoin very much BTC

And in order for me to fix it I will have to order a static ip from my internet provider which will take time and money. (min of 3$ monthly) Have you checked whether your ISP use CG-NAT? If no, there might be other solution than using static IP. Quote from: Libyanrav9 on March 20, 2022, 09:34:24 PM Is there any other free solution to this? please enlighten me. Configure your Bitcoin Core to use Tor, but it means your node only reachable by another node which use Tor. ETFbitcoin, I appreciate your taking the time:) Yes unfortunately, my ISP uses CG-NAT.

I was actually going to ask the same question as I am facing the same issue as you. Thank you for sharing it. I was and still so excited to run my full node <3 . I managed to download the whole blockchain which took a lot of time and patience. But I still have zero Inbound Connections. Network recommendations from Bitcoin.org like DHCP settings, Firewall of both Windows and internet modem, and port forwarding... all have been configured, but still no Inbounds and my node is still unreachable after checking it using Bitnodes.com The problem is most probably with my ip address. And in order for me to fix it I will have to order a static ip from my internet provider which will take time and money. (min of 3$ monthly) Is there any other free solution to this? please enlighten me. I am using old hp laptop + 1TB External HDD. Location: Turkey P.S. I am not tech savvy, but I can follow steps and try. BTC

Bitcoin güzel insanları, Merhaba Node running’ı yeni başladım, port açma konusunda sorun yaşıyorum çözemedim, bilgisi olan varsa lütfen yeşillendiriniz Eski hp laptop kullanıyorum + 1TB HDD Bitcoin Core’u indirdim, block datayı full synchronize edebildim fakat henüz (inbound connection) hiç yok; (In: 0 / Out: 10) Bitnodes.com da kontrol ettim, Node’m hala görünmüyor / unreachable diyor Windows’ta Firewall’ı kapattım ve 8333 portuna izin verdim İnternet modeminin firewall’ı kapattım ve 8333 port yönlendirme işlemi da açtım Araştırdığımda statik ip adres almam gerektiğini öğrendim. Emin olamadım Başka bir çözüm yok mu acaba? Ekstra para veremeyeceğim çünkü. Şimdiden teşekkür ettim P.S. Türkçem bozuk kusura bakmayınız
