Question:

How to forward port to external internet?

Solution:

If you enable UPnP in your router DAppNode will open all necessary ports for you. If you don’t have UPnP you can open ports manually in the router.

To check if ports are open, you can use an external tool like check-host as follows:

  1. Copy your url link (the content of the blue highlighted box)
  2. Go to check-host and paste it there
  3. Click on TCP port

Do the same three steps but removing :8092 and adding :1194 instead plus clicking on UDP port button.

If you don’t get a positive result you may have to contact your internet provider to help / allow you to open the ports.
