Bitcoin Node Port 8333 Open, But Still No Incoming Connections!

[flappycoinrevive]

I recently started a bitcoin node to support the network. I opened the port 8333 on my router and have set my firewall to accept incoming connections from my bitcoin client, but It still doesn't show any incoming connections. I even visited the bitcode page to check my node status and it states that it is inaccessible. Please help!

Go to http://canyouseeme.org/ and key in 8333. If the portforward is done successfully, you should see a success.

That means you didn't portforward correctly.

Can you go to your router page and verify that you did portforward TCP 8333?

If you see a LAN IP address or anything similar for you to fill, go to command prompt, key in ipconfig and you should be able to see IPV4 Address or anything similar. For me, it is 192.XXX.X.XXX.

For the local IP address, go to Command prompt and key in "ipconfig". You should see the following output:


Replace the Local IP address with the one you see in YOUR own output.
