Docker's bridge network bitcoind's banned

[adys11]

Hi,

I am running bitcoind on docker (windows 10).
RPC is working good.

I am getting a lot of banning messages for docker bridge address, on all ports.

2017-12-30 19:07:50 connection from 172.17.0.1:51902 dropped (banned)
2017-12-30 19:07:50 connection from 172.17.0.1:51904 dropped (banned)
2017-12-30 19:07:50 connection from 172.17.0.1:51906 dropped (banned)
2017-12-30 19:07:50 connection from 172.17.0.1:51908 dropped (banned)
2017-12-30 19:07:50 connection from 172.17.0.1:51910 dropped (banned)
2017-12-30 19:07:50 connection from 172.17.0.1:51912 dropped (banned)
2017-12-30 19:07:50 connection from 172.17.0.1:51914 dropped (banned)
2017-12-30 19:07:50 connection from 172.17.0.1:51916 dropped (banned)

And so on for all the ports.

I am not the first to encounter this.

Any idea how to solve it?

Thanks,

Firewall maybe

I take it your running a full node and are using RPC to talk to the client here ?

It should probably be considered a bug that Bitcoin Core can ban non-routable addresses. As a workaround, putting "whitelist=172.16.0.0/12" in bitcoin.conf should work (after restarting bitcoind and clearing the existing bans).
