All incoming peers are unreachable

Staking & Delegation Setup a Stake Pool
#1

Folks, is it normal that all incoming peers are unreachable?

The port numbers from these incoming peers look like dynamically opened ports as a result from an incoming connection to the respective hosts. I would expect the respective firewalls to deny access to those ports, but why would gLiveView display zero traffic and those peers to be “Unreachable”?

My understanding is, that the IP:Port of this node finds its way into the mainnet-topology of those peers and that is why this node has incoming connections from those peers.

What do you see in gLiveView for incoming peers?

#2

do you use topology updater?

restart the cnode, aand let us know the staatus of the new IN peers.

#3

Yes, the topology updater is running. I see Tx being processed BTW.

#4

i guess atleast your own producer should be reachable. i only have 3 incoming now and 1 is unreachable. had up to 7 yesterday i think. 3 or 4 where unreachable then

  1. for which node you speak?’
    as you you have many OUT, it is a relay.
    thats why you have also topology updater.

pleasse restart the cnode.

#6

Here you go: … “it is not uncommon to see many unreachable peers”

In fact, it would be a security issue on their end, if they were reachable :wink:

exactly, i was discussing about this topic with another SPO, and we believe is only ICMP test and nothing more.
when the nodes need to communicate for the blockchain, i believe it will work properly based on open port for the service.
