There really does seem to be issues with connections with 808 recently as even my wallet has been dropping active connections on a regular basis when before I always had at least 8 connections all the time. I currently just have 2 active connections even after add fresh nodes each day so there must be an issue somewhere as many people are having these problems.
I opened the port 8087 and usually restrict the number of connections to 12.
It is showing 27 and rising when I remove maxconnections=12 line on conf.
