My node is down again

Yep, that was actually not working correctly, now it is so the DUC is working correctly. But, my node is still down. I stopped/started the service just in case as well.

check with this tool is your ddns and port is reacheble to your node

Among the first thing I did was check the port and it was fine. I checked it again with your link and it was closed. I checked my firewall and the rule allowing it is still there. I stopped my firewall, restarted it and did the same with the Storj service and now it is working. Probably part of the long running war between microsoft and I for supremecy

Do you have two firewalls? One is integrated Defender and the second from some third party?

when I opened up my windows firewall it says it is managed by Mcafee firewall. So, I deleted the Storj rules I had in Mcafee, set them up again and its back working. Not sure why but at least its working again
