No no luck been trying all day
I have tried on 3x different systems Win and Linux wallet. I even tried using my mobile data thinking maybe ISP is blocking me but also no luck.
Don`t know if they block that IP in South Africa but I doubt that. Only thing i can still try is using my VPN to London maybe that will work.
It just flashes for second in Peers list with Ping N/A
Is that the only node I can connect to ?
Try to clean up the banlist.dat file in your wallet folder.
