Thank you. That's exactly what I want.

I have one other question. Is there a difference when it says outbound/inbound connection? If yes, how can I ensure that my wallet will always have inbound connection?

How to connect to only one node at startup

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
