Hi Guys/Gals, Edit: simplified post! No Transactions on My Block Producer. Moved Node from a Google Cloud VM to a Dell Server on my Local Network. I am using Ubuntu 20.4 Server as its base with Virtual Box installed with the Cardano Node on Ubuntu 20.4 Server also. I am using Bridged Network and can ping other VMs on the same Virtual Box Successfully using Telnet. Node is Synched Registered etc. I can’t open port 3001 it seems locked down - Its Port Forwarded on my hub and UFW Enabled in the VM - but yougetsignal says " Port [3001] is closed". My Relay 6000 is open and can be seen in yougetsignal and Pool,vet Is it worth trying NAT instead of Bridged? I am also using the Topologyupdater.sh Script - the last log was: **{** **“resultcode”** **:** **“403”** **,** **“datetime”** **:** **"2021-04-17 20** **:** **17** **:** **14"** **,** **“clientIp”** **:** **“'my IP”"** **,** **“iptype”** **:** **4** **,** **“msg”** **:** **"glad you want to stay with us** **,** **but please check and enable your IP** **:** **port reachability"** \*\*} Thanks in Advance. Best Regards Crypto Hoard (Joph) ---

Ok, the Producer is synced? And do not use topology updater on Producer. Can u paste the glive output? As u can see the port is closed… u will need to configure a port forwarding in the local router ---

Hi Alex, thank you for getting back in touch, really appreciate you time. Yep Producer is Synced. (Please see attached) I am using SimpleLiveView - Here is Screen Shot. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/3X/b/4/b48085e0199ea87a9d29c4635fd23829b6b77724.jpeg). Yep Port 3001 says its closed on Port Checker. Additional info here: TopologyUpdater - Last Log: **esultcode"** **:** **“403”** **,** **“datetime”** **:** **"2021-04-18 19** **:** **22** **:** **29"** **,** **“clientIp”** **:** **“82.26.28.136”** **,** **“iptype”** **:** **4** **,** **“msg”** **:** **"glad you want to stay with us** **,** **but please check and enable your IP** **:** **port reachability"** **}** Port Forwarding 3001 is Enabled in Router UFW Displays: To Action From * * * 3001 ALLOW 82.26.28.136 The Internal IP I am using is also allowed for the VM on Virtual Box . Hope that helps? ---

So, the topology updater log is for Producer or Relay? I see the Producer has 2 PEERS IN/OUT ---

Your right at the moment I have this VM running a producer and a Relay on the same machine but with different " **hasPrometheus**" ports in Mainnet-config. But… I have a few relays spare that are synched on other VM’s I could use - I would just need to re-register. What you think? ---

The Relays have TX? ---

Nope! So it seems it may be a common problem? They are all on Virtual Box ---

As long the Relays doesn’t have TX, u will not see TX in Producer The Relays, have IN PEERS? Now, I’m assuming that u connected the Producer to Relays via private network right? In this case u will need only one portforward configured on the local roter (the cnode port for relay/relays) ---

Agreed. Sorry just confirming… 3 and 3 and 1 In Peers ---

And the connection Producer - Relays and Relays - Producer is fine… u can see all nodes connected… Now u must chec: - if the cnode port for relays is opened from the outside and accepts connections from other public nodes, if no then: - check the FW or ufw from server … it should be configured to allow connections from any - I don’t know how bridge is working but u can try for test with portfowarding ---

> - if the cnode port for relays is opened from the outside and accepts connections from other public nodes, if no then: This is the wierd thing - port forwarding for the relay port is forwarded in router - UFW says allow from anywhere but yougetsignal says its blocked! > - check the FW or ufw from server … it should be configured to allow connections from any Confirmed this is “Anywhere” > - I don’t know how bridge is working but u can try for test with portfowarding I did a Telnet (telnet my “internal ip” “6000” and received “telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host” Can ufw and IP tables conflict? ---

U must check what IP has the nodes ifconfig And for that IP u will need to create portforward… that’s why I said I don’t know how bridge works… it’s sounds more like a l2 function ---

Yep the Port Forward is going to the correct IP - I agree L2 Function. When I first took the node off the cloud and just used the local server without a VM (Just installed Ubuntu 20.4) it worked fine. I was just trying to be clever and have the option to scale up in the future by using the up resources of the server by using Virtual Box as what I have was an overkill for it. Seems to some underlying issue I need to resolve. I won’t take up anymore of your time, I have read all your other posts on the forum and I think you do a brilliant Job supporting everyone, and I have learnt some great tips from you. I will let you know the outcome when its resolved, or I just spin up my cloud vm again to save the all this hassle!!! 🙂 Thanks again Alex 🙂 ---

Thank u; For u is simple… everything is working but something is blocking the cnode ports for Relays… when u will fix this it will work ---

Is it for a pool?
