So my WAN IP address in my router homepage is different than my external address in Open Port Check Tool - Test Port Forwarding on Your Router
And I think this is the reason why the node I setup is offline. My port is correctly forwarded in the router site (forwarding > virtual server - using a TL-WR840N)
| Service Port | IP Address | Internal Port | Protocol | Status | Edit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28967 | myprivateIPaddress | 28967 | TCP | Enabled |
please advise.
Do you have static or dynamic IP address?
in the router page in âIP addressâ (in the WAN section) it says âdynamic IPâ
It doesnât mean anything yet. The point is that the address for your router is set automatically by your ISPâs DHCP server. If you donât know if you have a static or dynamic address, you have two solutions:
Contact your internet provider and ask about it.
but the reason why we use and setup an account in https://my.noip.com is to solve this problem right?
for the record this is my config:
-e WALLET="0xf....." \ -e EMAIL="myemail@gmail.com" \ -e ADDRESS=" myaddress.hopto.org:28967" \ -e BANDWIDTH="10TB" \ -e STORAGE="1.62TB" \
etc
Exactly. If you use no-ip it means you probably have a dynamic IP address.
Run your node and check what problem is showing in the logs.

address have not changed. I updated the config to
-e ADDRESS="that_external_address:28967" \
still node shows offline.
Identity is signed?
Now I have to fill in garbage to be allowed to post this.
not sure what you mean with âsignedâ. i followed all this Step 5. Create an Identity - Storj Docs
and I have this setup
--mount type=bind,source="/home/ubuntu/<my folder with the identity files>",destination=/app/identity \
Did you receive a token by email and used the âauthorize storagenodeâ command?
yes, i did this (from another computer, not from the one where I will run the node -a raspberry-
./identity_linux_amd64 authorize storagenode <email:characterstring>
i can do it again if needed
It can be done only once. Check how many files do you have in your identity folder.
In this case your ISP most likely uses CGN and your port forwarding in your router will have no affect. In this case you need to use a service like portmap.io.
Who is your ISP?
Before you go this route it is worth it to call your ISP and ask to get a public IP instead of CGN. A surprising amount of people have had success with this by just asking. If they donât help you with that, consider how much you love your ISP and what other options are out there or use portmap.io.
three files: ca.cert, identity.cert, identity.key
whats the difference between this and NoIP suggested in the documentation (and which I already enabled?) Step 3. Setup Port Forwarding - Storj Docs
writing them a mail.
by the way - i checked again on https://api.ipify.org/ and public address is the same, so seems is static.
NoIp can solve the problem with a dynamic public IP. You will have a hostname, which you can use instead of IP as your external address. This hostname will be update by your router if you configure it to do that or with an application of the DDNS provider, in case of no-ip itâs called DUC. It doesnât help, if your WAN IP is differ from the public IP.
The portmap.io can help you in case, if your WAN IP is different from the public IP. If you will use it, the DDNS will not be needed, because you will have a hostname from the portmap.io
The difference is, that if your ISP uses CGN, you basically sit behind another NAT router and your router will not be reachable from the Internet. With a service like portmap.io you establish a VPN connection to them and then you setup a portforwarding at their end and they route all packets through the VPN tunnel to you.
But reading your last comment, your IP from your router matches the reported IP from ipify.org. Who knows what happened earlier (browser cache?).
