Hi Everybody

I'm havinng a problem with my VIVO masternode, same as somebody before, if I do not specify my IP in the VIVO.conf, then I get the message:
Not capable masternode: Can't detect valid external address. Please consider using the externalip configuration option if problem persists. Make sure to use IPv4 address only.

if I specify the IP and the port 12845 in the VIVO.conf, I get the message:

Not capable masternode: Could not connect to myip:12845.

I checked the port from outside and it is open.

any help please?

regards

I have the same problem. I have disable my firewall in windows, open my ports in the router, a static IP4 address. But if I start my masternode is the same error displayed:

"Not capable masternode: Can't detect valid external address. Please consider using the externalip configuration option if problem persists. Make sure to use IPv4 address only."

I do not understand why it should be a security problem to run the MN on the desktop at home. if you rent a server the coins somewhere in the world on a computer, since can also happen a lot ...

You need to have "externalip=1.2.3.4" (where 1.2.3.4 is your external IP address) in the vivo.conf file.

Also, having the port open on your router is not enough. You need to enable port forwarding on the router to forward that port to the same port on your local PC (and make sure that you have allowed both public and private networks to access the Vivo wallet port when you were prompted by the Windows firewall).
