Node offline, everything seems correct

So then my node went offline.

My internal IP is correct, my DNS is updated, i can ping my self and my ports are correct.

What the hell is going on? :open_mouth:

I am also getting this in the updater-logā€¦ :open_mouth:

It looks like the portnumber suddenly is gone from the log?
I have not touched anything on this machine for months, its just been running.

To my non-expert eye, it looks like it may be a DNS lookup issue?

I just edited the YAML.

it was *HOSTNAME: :PORTNUMBER.

Removed one :
Saved YAML, and its online.
I promise, this has happened all by it self, it must be a bug in an update.

Am online again. May be a note to developerā€¦ If they want to investigate it. The extra Colon has not been added by me

Must be gremlins! :wink:
