Like a good little bitcoiner, I am running a full node 24/7. Everything works fine, port forwarding enabled. I'm currently connected to 76 peers at the time of writing.

Unfortunately my ISP changes my IP address randomly. Sometimes once a week, other times 3 times a day.
This messes up the node and it drops back to 8 connections permanently until I restart the daemon.

My ISP only supports static IP addresses with a business connection which I don't want.
The only other solution is to have the daemon restart automatically with a cronjob, say every 24 hours. Of course this isn't really a solution, just a work around.

I also run a tor node, but this seems to detect the change of IP address and adjust accordingly. I don't have the same issue with the tor node.

Anyone else got any other ideas I can try?

Order a static IP address from your ISP.  If they don't have this, get a new ISP.

Yeah, that's an idea. I'll give it a try. Thanks  Smiley
