please allow incoming connections while using proxy asap

I want to run a 24/7 node but you aren't letting me

I'm using a ssh tunnel for a little anonymity, I'd like to port forward

Are you running the Windows EXE or the source code?

My 028 is perfect, 54 connections

My theory is that if you leave your client online for several hours you'll collect a bunch of IP addresses of nodes that connect for a few minutes and then disconnect.  When you restart the client it goes though that list of IP addresses one at a time trying to connect.  Since most of them are now offline and it takes about 5-10 seconds per connect attempt, it could take a long time to find the first live one.

I don't know this for sure, but deleting knownodes.dat seems to force the client to first connect to a known, hard-coded IP address that's online all the time.  That would explain why deleting the file speeds up the cold connect process.

Very cool. Guess mine hasn't been restarted much.

Works fine on linux ... what are you talking about?

Unfortunately Debian, Fedoria, (and thus others like Mint Linux) cannot run it as easily because their copies of OpenSSL doesn't include Elliptic Curve cryptographic functions for patent reasons.
