I migrated from a temporary SMB share to a local SSD and then to iSCSI. My uptime is 345 hours and increasing, but my uptime score is constanly decreasing. Can someone check my node? [Screenshot 2026-04-01 at 19.35.01] [Screenshot 2026-04-01 at 19.35.13] [Screenshot 2026-04-01 at 19.41.37]

[image] yuz98: Can I just whitelist storj from the DDoS protection and firewall? No, you cannot whitelist Storj in DDoS protection, Storj uses p2p protocol, the source IP address and port can be literally any. Your node is contacted by customers from any point of the world. You need to disabl…

Your uptime score has nothing to do with underlying storage. Check your firewall rules, DDNS, and ensure your DNS filter is not blocking storj services. HaGeZi DNS filters are blocking storj.io and tardigrade.io

Everything was working before I took the storage offline briefly to convert to iSCSI. No settings were changed. DNS is from Google. DDNS is from cloudflare. How would I proceed with checking the firewall? There is bandwidth used every day, so I think storj is able to access my node.

[image] yuz98: Did not see any errors in tcp. Why would you expect to see any? Check you DDNS updater log. [image] yuz98: My Sia node on the same server just different docker container is working perfectly. I don’t know how is this relevant.

[Screenshot 2026-04-01 at 22.49.38] [Screenshot 2026-04-01 at 22.49.48] Means that the DDNS is working? It is only showing my ip. If the ddns has problem my Sia node would not work as well. I check the logs for the ddns updater and there are no error logs.

There won’t be errors in the dns updater, that’s the problem. It will silently update to the wrong IP. Did you read that other thread? The fact that DDNS works now means nothing. Do you have a log of IP addresses that your DDNS updater programmed? [image] yuz98: If the ddns has problem my Sia …

Maybe firewall rules updated. if you have anti-ddos system somewhere in the path – its rules may have updated.

Correlation, not causation. You started the node, DDNS update kicked in …

That’s your problem likely.
