It took me quite a bit of time to realize that you have to set up portforwarding on your router to TCP port 30000 (only realized it due to discussion on Discord). It would be great if you could add that information on your documentation.
In the readme it just says "To connect to the network and start sync, you must have a static (public) IP address and an open port.". I figured since I didn't create any rules in my firewall that restrict access to port 30000 everything should be fine. Also a trace verified that the connection between my computer and the other nodes is working fine.
It would be great if you could add the term "portforwarding" into the readme. It would make things much easier.
