Hello, I wonder if someone can guide me.
My ISP used to deliver me IPv4 and I had configured port forwarding and IN connection were made to my node. Everyone was happy.
Now I just got stuck with 9 OUT connections, I want to be able to get IN connections, the difference is that my ISP change the public IP from IPv4 to IPv6.
I checked Bitnodes site and did the open port test but it fails.
Do I need to do an special IPv6 set into my router? PCP maybe?

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

Yes, maybe PCP (UPnP) could help. Or look for ipv6 firewall settings. |

IPv6 public addresses are global (no need for address transalation or port forwarding). As a result, many routers block incoming IPv6 connections by default. If you change this to allow incoming connections, make sure you have a good firewall on your PC since you can't rely on NAT to protect your local network.

UPDATE
I just had to set my router's IPv6 firewall to low so the incoming connections (any) could be made. I don't like that, there is an option about setting incoming and outgoing address.
Does anyone knows how to set the incoming and outgoing filter on IPv6? Source
Nodes traffic is UPD or TCP?

Setting that filter means that you will be limiting who can connect to your node. You will be filtering by IP address, not traffic or anything else. Because IPv6 means that all devices will get their own IP address (which is unlike IPv4 where the router is a NAT), your IPv6 device will need to have its own firewall. Nodes traffic is UPD or TCP?
TCP |

TCP So basically I must set incoming filter to ANY to IPv6:8333 and outgoing traffic filter "dont care" or IPv6:8333 to ANY, right? |

Yes. and outgoing traffic filter "dont care" or IPv6:8333 to ANY, right?
Outgoing should be "don't care" to Any. |

Outgoing should be "don't care" to Any. Thanks! I have another question if you may answer it. This node is pruned and only got 1 incoming connection, does pruning influence the amount of incoming connections allowed? How can I rise incoming connections? tia |

No, pruning does not effect your incoming connection count. How can I rise incoming connections?
You can't. Just let your node be online for a while and more nodes will begin to know about it. Then you will get more connections. |

No, pruning does not effect your incoming connection count. And just to finish my doubts (for now) : The difference between a pruned node and a not pruned is that the one that is not pruned could be useful to another nodes that request the download of the whole blockchain? They both can confirm TX and they both can receive the same amount of incoming connections. The other difference (of course) is the hard drive amount they occupy. If you now any other difference please feel free to comment it. thanks. |

Yes. Pruned nodes cannot serve the blockchain so they cannot help sync new nodes. They both can confirm TX and they both can receive the same amount of incoming connections.
Yes. |
