Hi..I have my COTX helium miner up and running, getting HNT...but its relayed.....Ive tried adding 44518 to inbound/outbound ports...adding the miner to the virtual server on VR2800 gateway..turning off UPnP...adding port triggerring....re-booting...three times...im not sure what else I can do / try...any suggestions would be very greatfully received, thanks
From the installation instructions:
"Before launching the Miner, you will want to configure ports on your network to forward two ports:
44158/TCP: the Miner communicates to other Miners over this port. The networking logic knows how to get around a lack of forwarding here, but you will get better performance by forwarding the port
1680/UDP: the radio connects to the Miner over this port. You will not be able to forward packets or participate in Proof of Coverage without this
"Forwarding" on the second port is less relevant if you are running a radio packet forwarder on the same system at the miner (both on a Raspberry Pi, for example). But it is essential if you are running a Miner on the cloud for example."
These settings should be entered here (change 192.168.1.100 with your miner real IP address):
44158 TCP:
1680 UDP:
Turn UPnP OFF:
Make sure that your Internet IP address is Public (and static - it doesn't change on every router restart), otherwise these virtual servers won't work:
Finally remember that your relayed status might not update on Helium for over 24 hours, so be patient.
