Running Bitcoin Knots

🙌 you are at least one step ahead of me.

That’s a pleasure to learn Bitcoin together

Is port 8333 open, so that your node is a real relay?

I have open my Port 8333 on the Firewall.

But in Bitcoin Knots > Node Window > Information >

I see: Number of connections: 10 (In: 0 / Out: 10)

In: 0 => I don’t think this is correct

When you are running Knots in Umbrel, then that might be the pitfall:

I don’t use Umbrel, Linux, Raspberry Pi.

Have you checked this?

1) The "listening" flag in bitcon.conf is on?

2) The rpi firewall does not block the port?
