Changed IP address | Node does not start anymore

Node Operators troubleshooting

Hello,

Today my ISP had issue and for almost 4 hrs I was offline. When internet came back, my IP had changed. First time in 12 years, even though I do not have a fixed one.

Now, I have changed the IP address in the configuration file, and since then the node does not start anymore. It tries and then stops.

Any ideas on how to solve that?

I am running one node on windows with windows installation and one node on a Synology NAS with docker. Both behave the same way.

Thanks.

Hello!

It’d probably be helpful to have a look at your logs: could you post what seems to be relevant here?

See:

Maybe your ISP put you behind CGNAT. Does the IP in your router match the IP you get at whatsmyip.org?

I believe I have found the issue, I forgot to change one object in the firewall, which still had the old IP address. Once I managed to update that, the Windows node started to work again like a charm, while in order to start the Synology Node I had to stop, remove the node and then use the RUN command with the new IP address. Everything seems to work now.

By consulting the logs of the docker node I have noticed the following lines which I do not like:

Why is it complaining? What’s wrong?

Thanks.

That’s what DDNS is for.
