- | Recently, we have made a change in the Qortal Core, that will allow the use of what's called uPnP or (Universal Plug and Play). What this means, is that if uPnP is enabled on your router | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Now, uPnP only works for the FIRST node on a network, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **Node 1** Internal: 12392 External: 12392 | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **Node 2** Internal: 12392 External: 22392 | + | |
- | + | ||
- | **Node 3** Internal: 12392 External: 32392 | + | |
- | + | ||
- | This would allow 3 separate incoming connections on the same outside internet IP address, to connect to each Qortal node. Here’s something that most people may not know: by default, Qortal will check for port 12392, so if you have the default port open, the network will know and attempt to connect to your node. However, if your node is on a DIFFERENT port, from multiple port forwards on the same LAN. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | For example, with port 22392, Qortal will NOT by default know this UNLESS you ADD PEER from another node AND add the peer with your external **internet IP** (which you can find easily by going to https:// | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Let’s say my home's external IP is 1.2.3.4 and I have 3 nodes on my home LAN on 192.x.x.x with correct port forwarding and ports 12392, 22392, and 32392. I would then go to another node and **ADD PEER** and add **1.2.3.4: | + | |

- | Hopefully this announcement has enough detail for everyone to understand, if you have any questions please feel free to reach out, there are many brilliant techs in our community who understand port forwarding and can assist you. (and I'm not so bad at it myself, heh.) | + | |

- | I think even some of our more techie members may not have known about the **need to add the other non-default port forwarded nodes, in 'add peers' | + | |
