I've read some posts on here about the port forwarding and helping with connections on the node. I currently have 10/32 connections. I tried forwarding the ports but it didn't change. not sure if i did every right or not? anyone have any suggestions or a good guide for this? also looking to try and forward ports to be able to access remote. I tried that but i can't access remote still so obviously i'm not doing something right.......
FWIW, I too am only showing 10/32 connections (I'm a batch 2 so the node has been running for just a couple days and is 84% sync'd)
I verified that inbound connections to my node from the internet are working using this website here that someone else in the thread provided earlier. Give it a try: CanYouSeeMe dot Org
All you do is pull the web page up and then edit the 'Port to Check' so it reads 8333 and click the 'Check Port' button. It will come back with 'Success' if your firewall/router is set up correctly.
