Hi, my node was running smoothly for years, but all of a sudden my QUIC now says it’s misconfigured. It also went offline. I’m running a node on Windows.
It’s not opening. You should be able to open it in the browser.
Make sure that the IP is the same as on Open Port Check Tool - Test Port Forwarding on Your Router and matches your WAN IP on your router, and you use it in your contact.external-address: option of the config.yaml.
If it’s not the case, perhaps you need to register for a DDNS hostname and configure the updater of this DDNS hostname either on your router (usually in the DDNS section) or use an app from the DDNS provider (less preferable), and use this DDNS hostname instead of IP in the contact.external-address: option.
Thanks for your fast reply! I changed contact.external-address: 143.178.39.177:28967 to my own IP address and the same port number in C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node\config.yml and restarted the node with Restart-Service storagenode in Windows Powershell (administrator), now it seems to work again!
@Alexey I’m having the same problem again but my IP has not changed. I also registered a DDNS hostname at NoIP and set this as the contact.external-address option.
Does IP on the yougetsignal match WAN IP on your modem?
Make sure that the router is actually in the AP mode (the NAT should be disabled), otherwise you would need to add a port forwarding rule to this router too.
Please also check your DDNS
nslookup my.ddns.address 8.8.8.8
should return the same IP as your WAN IP and IP on yougetsignal.
If these checks are passed, then check your logs for errors, search for FATAL ones, i.e. (PowerShell):
@Alexey Thanks for your reply! The IP’s of the yougetsignal and WAN IP of my modem match and the nslookup returns my IP address of the DDNS. My router is in AP mode. I can’t add port forwarding here because it is disabled in AP mode.
I added port forwarding in my modem for my PC where the Storj node is connected and for my router (don’t know if the last is needed though).
that sounds wrong, your modem sends data wich is routed over the router wich should know to wich pc the pakets should be delivered, (if AP mode causes the router to act as an switch with wifi)
This must have been my magic hands, causing the device to be surprised about the restart and working normaly.
Just kidding, maybe the network was confused somehow.
I will have to live with the fact, that we both will never kow why, too.
For me, i choose to believe in magic instead of trying to recreate the cause.
