the configuration line is in the config.yaml file in your storagenode folder
you open config.yaml and change the 28967 to 52780
like alexy describedā¦
mine looks like this
# public address to listen on
server.address: :28967
yours need to be the port number you use.
As I thought, you didnāt save the configuration with a new port. I think the external address have not changed too.
Please, save changes in the Notepad++ and restart the storagenode
- I executed what you indicated and the following appears on the screen:
2)I just checked the nodeās dashboard and it just appears ONLINE.
congrats ā¦
you can check the logs to see what itās doing, tho initially it will be slow, but you will get info on stuff like uploaded pieces and if they are successful or notā¦
but if it says online, then itās usually fineā¦ but personally i always try to check the logs just for peace of mindā¦ storagenodes do die for various reasons, but if it says online itās most likely fine.
Many thanks to:

For helping me solve this problem. You guys are the best.
i canāt really take credit for being much help here ā¦ 
I have an additional question.
I have noticed that the upload and download speeds have decreased by almost 40% from the 100Mbps FTTH plan that I have contracted with my ISP.
Is there a way to decrease that reduction?
the data runs through the vpn, so that might have some bandwidth limitationā¦
my storagenode isnāt going past 40mbit atm eitherā¦ so if you are looking at the storagenode speeds, itās most likely just because of thatā¦
however if you run a bandwidth test through the vpn, on a bandwidth test siteā¦ like ookla speed test
then you can see if the vpn is a limitationā¦ but stuff like that may change from day to day, hour to hour and week to weekā¦ so donāt expect to answer that straight away.
That reduction is due to the overhead of the VPN. I think there is an option called split tunneling that will give you the option to only send the storagenode application through the VPN connection. But I have never done it so you will have to look into it. Make sure you make note of all of your current settings that are currently working before you try changing anything in the PIA settings. This should make it so all other traffic bypasses the VPN (if this is what you want).
Congrats!

I have an additional query.
To monitor my node from anywhere I am using https://uptimerobot.com/
I already filled uptimerobot with the parameters of my node.
However, I donāt know how this program works.
Uptimerobot tells me if my node works?
If you are using Uptime Robot mobile app (available on the Play Store at least) will check every X minutes that your need is still up (actually it will ping your server at the port your defines).
If itās not, you will receive a notification (depending on how you configured it: by mail or on directly on your phone if you installed the Uptime Robot mobile app)
