It seems that I'm not connected to localhost:2333, how can I verify or just know what is my RPC?

I think you must unlocked that tcp (local host connection) first.
Try these following steps (and for security purpose) as root :

Code:

ufw status

if result "inactive", then type :

Code:

ufw enable

then type "Y".
Then type :

Code:

ufw allow 2333/tcp

then try restart your cpuminer

On ufw enable I get:

Code:

Firewall is active and enabled on system startup

On ufw allow 2333/tcp I get:

Code:

Skipping adding existing rule
Skipping adding existing rule (v6)

But still when I run the ./minerd command I get:

Code:

[2020-08-23 12:33:10] HTTP request failed: Failed to connect to localhost port 2333: Connection refused
