Hi,
I want to setup a secure Wallet System with bitcoin core on linux.
First bitcoin node should be placed in the DMZ, behind the Front Firewall.
Second node should be placed in a secure net, without a direct internet connect.
The second node should sync with the first node.
I setup the 2 Nodes. First Node is syncing.
Second Node has configured:
connect=192.168.1.15
addnode=192.168.1.15
But it does not start loading blocks.
Any Ideas?
Kind regards, Morph
Interesting idea. Why exactly would you want to do that though? For extra security on your wallet there are many things to do like encrypting wallet, creating new wallet instance and taking the private keys completely off Internet, etc. I don't think the node #2 (inside the secure net) will be able to transfer/receive anything from the main network without being synced in the first place. True it is getting sync only from node #1 but node #1 does not have any control over what goes on the main network.
Also as a suggestion you might try to see if second node 192.168.1.15 can communicate over the Bitcoin ports to the first node (maybe that is the reason it doesn't connect).
Regards
