I did run a bitcoin full node how to connect to the bitcoin network?

Hello there,

I did run a bitcoin full node but don't know how to connect to the bitcoin network.

I need help, please.

If you have the core client with the entire blockchain downloaded and running with connections I believe you're done. Just keep it running, there are special arm versions for raspberry pi machines to keep the power consumption down. That's honestly what I suggest as you'll want to keep your node running as long as possible to help the network out as much as possible.

Thank you.

Is there any more explanation, please?

The full node is running but I can't connect to the bitcoin network.

Also when checking my IP on https://bitnods.earn.com it says unreachable!

That url isn't valid, in your core wallet gui is the light at the bottom right green? It should say how many connections you have.

I think you meant bitnodes not bitnods.

It seems for them to see your node you have to change your port to their range.

You right Bitnodes.

I have 8 active connections.
