I have a computer with synced blockchain so I'd like to connect to it via its internal IP and sync my blockchain on another laptop. For that I need to connect to that computer ONLY. However, I don't know how to go about it.

I read that adding to config file "connect=..." will connect the wallet ONLY to that node. But that didn't work. I tried to set maxconnections=0 and maxoutboundconnection=0 but it didn't do anything. It almost seemed like it didn't register my config file.

Adding the node after the start of wallet worked fine.

My question: what to write in my bitcoin.conf so that my wallet connects to my pc only?

Thanks

I'm not sure if i'm really understanding what you're asking, but if you want to connect to just 1 particular node, i think you can use something along the lines of:

Quote

1. -addnode= Add a node to connect to and attempt to keep the connection open
2. -connect= Connect only to the specified node(s)
