hi @COSDpool,
thank you for the detailed contribution! I have had to take a day, so I apologise for my belated reply.
This gives me a lot of food for thought, I have to keep learning! I will try to replicate your suggestions and, if I may, will ask questions along the way. In the meantime, regarding your shitlisting idea:
- I am still in testnet as you may have gathered;
- Grafana is what I use to monitor (ATM one of the relays only) via prometheus;
- I’ll try to add the refused connections metric to my dashboard and start from there;
- If you have time, could you please “throw everything” as you say above, to my node?
IP is 54.251.68.18:3663 this would give me the opportunity to fix security if needed and also see on my end if the node refuses incoming connections (is this correct?)
Thank you again,
A
