Hello MIP. I'm reaching out this way as this seems to be a re-occurring issue. My BBP client was happy until this last mandatory upgrade. After upgrading, it will not connect to any peers. I have gone as far as completely removing BBP off of my system and deleting the residual files/folders and then re-installing as if I were a new user. Even without my wallet.dat and config file, it will not connect to any peers. I have attempted disabling Windows Defender firewall (Win10) and have also added the two IP addresses in my config file for the nodes you mentioned the last time I had connection issues. Any ideas what to try next? Thank you for you time and consideration on this matter.

Have you ensured the system time and timezone is correct within 10 seconds also?

After doing that - *If* its still not working, try this from the rpc type: addnode 95.216.127.254 onetry

Please post the log if it still does not work.

EDIT: Please confirm the BBP Version is 1.4.4.8+ in the about page? Pre 1448 will get rejected by the network.

This was on 1.4.4.9 and time was sync'd. Actually attempted a few times to be sure.

I believe your IP was banned temporarily (for being on an old version). Hopefully, you saved your peers.dat and that will go through all your peers and it'll eventually find one that didn't ban you. Alternative is to get yourself a new IP temporarily: tether to your smartphone, use OpenVPN and find a free open server online, etc.

I think this is most likely the case. I just got home from work and it appears to have finally connected and downloaded. Took about 2 or 3 days probably. Now I'm trying to get my wallet.dat, peers and config file to work with it. Looks to be taking things.

I don't have the option of making my phone a hotspot because Straight Talk blocks it. I may be able to tether it with a bit of work but in the past that was hit and miss.

I will report back when things finalize.
