I have installed the Bitcoin Core client and wish to allow inbound connections. Has anyone tried doing this? I am able to connect to the network with outbound connections but have had no success when trying to get inbound connections
I have taken these steps:
1) Installed Bitcoin GUI in the template VM
2) Run it in a dedicated AppVM, downloaded the entire blockchain and am in sync
3) Configured port forwarding on the router, removed the firewall
4) Followed the port forwarding steps (https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/firewall/#port-forwarding-to-a-qube-from-the-outside-world) but replaced the port 443 in the instructions with 8333
5) Tried to Telnet the IP address on the sys-net (appears to be 192.168.1.18 on the wlp0s1 and do check node on bitnodes.21.co but it is unable to connect to host / says my IP is unreachable
Any advice
Thanks,
Max
Hi Unman,
Regarding the firewall changes - possibly I wasn't clear.
The statement removing the firewall was simply me disabling it on the router. I wanted to eliminate this as a possibility before raising my questions here. The only changing of the firewall I have done in the Qubes OS is the iptables changes on the sys-net and sys-firewall VMs.
As far as I understand, whilst I may have been a bit of a fool to put in my private address in the telnet, the Bitnodes website was testing the correct port on the external IP address I have. I am getting an unreachable message here. I only did the internal address from a different device on the same network.
Thanks,
Max
