Unable to Access Node Dashboard

I just setup my first node on Windows 10 but am unable to access the node dashboard. Clicking the “Storage Node Dashboard” shortcut that was created after initializing the node, I receive an error.

I have tried doing what was suggested in this (Can't access dashboard) question on the forum, but to no avail. Primarily, I don’t know what/where the “config.yaml” file is.

I’m not sure if I set up port forwarding correctly, so if there’s some way to check that, or just check if the node is operating normally in general, that would be great.

Any help/suggestions that can be offered would be helpful! This is all honestly pretty confusing to me.

Hello @wendeborn8 ,
Welcome to the forum!

Please, provide the last 20 lines from your logs: How do I check my logs? | Storj Docs
Regarding config.yaml: Where can I find the config.yaml? | Storj Docs

I found the config file and made some changes to it, as well as ran some commands that others recommended, and I can now access the dashboard. However, it’s telling me that my node is offline and that QUIC is misconfigured. I have also checked Open Port Check Tool - Test Port Forwarding on Your Router and made sure that both ports 28967 and 14002 are both open.

Regardless, here are the last several lines of my log. Definitely seems like there are some issues…

You should not publish 14002, otherwise you will give an access anyone to your private information, use remote access to the dashboard instead.
