was implemented recently to reduce ddos’ing from incorrectly configured nodes like when the firewall allows outgoing connections to ping the satellite, but unable to receive an incoming ping because incoming traffic is blocked by source for example (you should not specify source port/address in the firewall rule, you should specify only target port and IP (if needed)).
The reason is that your node is trying to check-in too often, usually this is a consequence of closed port, because either external or internal IP got changed.
Please use this check-list to troubleshoot the offline issue:
WAN IP on the main page of the router. Please, compare it with IP there: https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ , they should match
Local IP in the port forwarding rule, it should be the same as IP of your PC with storagenode
nslookup your.ddns.address 8.8.8.8 should return the same IP as p.1If you do not have a DDNS hostname, it’s time to create it: Step 3. Setup Port Forwarding - Storj Docs
Firewall. It should have an incoming rule to allow any traffic from any source to the TCP 28967 port and your PC as a destination. If you have any outgoing rule, then you should create an outgoing rule to allow any traffic from your PC as a source and any host with any port as a destination
A can only add one more check:
