Hello,
I set up my first storage node 3 days ago. Everything has worked so far. When I looked in the dashboard of the node, it shows that the mode is offline and the QUIC is not configured correctly. I opened the assigned port 28967 for TCP and UDP individually in my router and also opened the same port as an incoming and outgoing rule in the Windows firewall. After restarting the node, the problem was still there and even after 24 hours there was no change.
Can anyone help me?
When it does not work immediately I would not keep running the node for 24 hours, because satellites will be backing off with ever-increasing interval trying to contact your node if it keeps always failing.
Ensure you have a public IP.
Go to https://ifconfig.me with browser without proxies/prviate relay/vpn and compare that with what is show as a wan interface on your gateway.
If you don’t have public IP – you have several avenues, in this order:
Use external tools to check for TCP port being open.
Thank you for your answer
The result is that a public IP is available. The port test showed that the port via TCP is not open although it is open in the FRITZ!Box and has also been opened in Windows.
Is there a solution for this?
You could temporarily turn off your Windows Firewall (even just a couple minutes), just long enough to see if the port test start working. If not, and it sounds like your node is using a default config… it’s probably your router.
Are you using DDNS? If so, your node needs to be using that hostname… to be able to tell satellites/customers what IP to use to reach it.
I will test this.
Yes, I use DDNS. I use No-IP. I have stored my public IP there and also installed the DUC on the PC. The DDNS is also set up in the FRITZ!Box
If the Port is wrong, can I see the right Port in the config.yml ?
Check local IP. Check that port is forwarded to the correct local IP.
What is duc?
Yes, it shall be there in the same line as FQDN.
I would keep it off. Along with defender and other bloatware. You already have a firewall on your gateway.
DUC = Dinamico Update Client from No-Ip
Don’t use No-IP then.

It’s better to configure your router (in the DDNS section) instead of using DUC. You need to use either of them but not both though.
I believe cScript did this, I also set it to Frtiz and installed DUC
Check config.yaml for those lines:
contact.external-address: YOUR-DDNS:28967
server.address: :28967
Yes, the point is to run only one of them to do not allow them to clash.
