Trying to run UASF node

[pereira4]

Im trying to run UASF node and I used this site to see if it's reachable:

https://bitnodes.21.co/

But it's not working. When I enter my IP, it says "[my ip] is unreachable."

This is strange because I have like 10 people connected to my node... what's wrong?

The connections you see may be outbound connections. If your node is behind an NAT, make sure that TCP port 8333 is forwarded to the machine hosting the node. In all cases, check that firewall rules allow inbound TCP connections to port 8333 from the outside.

Are you running the node on a Dedicated Server, Virtual Private Server? Or are you running the node on your home network?

I've had the same problem and I realized that I was getting that "IP unreachable" message when I was running my VPN, but I was able to get the node to show up with my real IP, but I don't like to run it under my real IP due lack of privacy, I dont want to have my IP to show up around.

How can I still run it under my VPN but have it show up? if it doesn't show up in 21bitnodes.co does it mean that it doesn't count as a UASF node?

You'll need to forward port 8333 of your VPN IP to your node, if your VPN provider allows it. I doubt that many have that feature.
