Hi - I'm having a bit of trouble in that I've been away for a few days so turned my computer off. Before then my wallet was all up to date and in sync, now I can't get any connections at all though, despite having left the wallet open for hours with a continuous internet connection.
Not sure why it's decided it doesn't want to connect but any help would be great.
Thanks

If you are running it on Tor you could try switching over to standard I2P connection to get it synced.Sometimes the Tor wallet can find it hard to connect to relays due to it using an older Tor bundle.
If that doesn't work maybe backup wallet.dat and keys for any addresses with balances on them.Then slide out your wallet.dat from the data files in (search for %appdata% ) and let it load with a new wallet.dat and see if it syncs.If it works just slide back in the original one.
Great got it thanks. Turning Tor off for now has got it syncing up.
Nice one!
So whilst I did get it synced without Tor, I can't get it to work with Tor anymore.
Is it better to have it running with Tor or will it not affect the usage really?
It should still work with Tor.I ran it there and it had almost 30 connections but took ages to get the initial connection.It makes no difference to performance re:staking etc on standard I2P and you should always have at least 4 connections and much quicker to sync.
Tor is only for extra privacy layer but its going to be an external client after the upgrade anyway because we can't get the native client to work on 0.13 version.We will try to resolve that later of course because some community members prefer the client to have native Tor.
Awesome thanks for the info. I'll leave Tor off for the time being then since it seems to be working fine without it
