0 sats \ 10 replies \ @ama 3 Jan \ on: Trouble with getting incoming connections on new Bitcoin node. bitcoin_support
Do you limit the number or nodes to 8 or less? If you do, there might be no time for inbound nodes to find yours before it makes 8 (or less) outbound connections.
No I have not knowingly limited the number of nodes- there are currently 10 nodes connected but all are outbound. There has never been any inbound nodes.
There has never been more than 10 nodes connected so there does seem to be a limit of ten but when one drops off it is replaced fairly quickly by another outbound connection.

I think the firewall is more likely in the 4g Huawei router and yes it may be what is blocking inbound connections.
I thought opening the connection through socks proxy as shown in the photo might get around any ports blocked in router...but not sure.
Not even sure if the socks proxy connections are correctly configured but are as shown in the photo.

You say the firewall is more likely in the router, but have you checked whether or not you are running a firewall on your laptop?
I have never used the GUI, I only use the CLI for almost everything. Editing a config file is much easier for me than browsing through menus and lists of options with a mouse looking for the right thing.

I dont know how to check for firewall in laptop. I will try and look.

A common firewall is ufw, which is the default firewall on Ubuntu and maybe Debian as well. When I used Debian (I've been running Devuan for a few years now instead) it didn't come with a firewall running as default, but I don't know if that could have changed after so long. You could try typing in the CLS "sudo ufw status" to check out for ufw.
I opened GUFW and it shows no firewall on the laptop.
