Hosting Issues
-
Hello,
I am new to the sia community so excuse my noobs :).
I have setup a Sia host on server 2012 r2 on a VM and given it access to SAN storage. Ive allotted 1.8 TB to start and configured my firewall to NAT port 9882. I have verified that the port forward is in fact working however the sia wallet keeps telling me that my host is unreachable. I also have not been able to find my host listed in the host explorer. I have listed myself using DNS @ thomasnexus.net:9882. I have read that others have ran into this issue but i have yet to find a fix that seems to work. I should also note that UPNP is not an option for me as i am running an enterprise level firewall and UPNP Is a very insecure protocol that is not supported. That however should not matter as i have the NAT set up unless there is some other reason someone can specify?
Thanks

Sounds as if you're not reachable from the outside despite all the steps you already took. Try something like http://www.portchecktool.com/ to see if you can get through to your Sia from outside.
If you can't, then it's time to take out the network troubleshooting guide and go fix it. My crystal ball tells me you got the local firewall still active and blocking connections...
-
Nah ive already verified the ports are open and forwarding. I have disabled the windows firewall as well so its not that.

I would assume that you writing 9882 above is just a typo and it's got nothing to do with your problems? Because it's 9982 that appears to be reachable from the outside...
$ cat < /dev/tcp/thomasnexus.net/9882 -bash: connect: Connection refused -bash: /dev/tcp/thomasnexus.net/9882: Connection refused $ cat < /dev/tcp/thomasnexus.net/9982 ^CI'm also not using UPNP and had to use port forwarding through a couple zones; works like a charm, but can sometimes take a couple minutes after restarting until it knows it's reachable. Sorry I'm out of anything else to guess what could be wrong!

LOL(FACEPALM) So it turns out between the documentation and the "default" settings i got a bit confused. When i went to announce via the gui it randomly selected ports 9882 so i just stuck my dns name in there and forwarded that port. However when i go into the CLI and look 9982 is the default port that is listening. So i re announced my host with 9982 and Boom! its online and listed in the host explorer now.

Everyone
For the love of GOD, why and hell doesnt my setup work. Im using enterprise firewalls, I have nat turned on, static ip, and everything....firewall is forwarding tcp/9982 to the correct server internally but the damn SIA hosting client keeps coming up with:
WARN: could not automatically forward port 9982: no UPnP-enabled gateway found
What the hell am I missing???

@casbot1969 please open a new topic for new problems, much higher chance for people to check it out and help you.
Please provide more info about what you already tried etc. From the available info I'd say you
- have another NAT or firewall in between that you forgot to disable or turn on port forwarding, or
- something in your Sia setup is broken, such as maybe the host that you announced it on, or the port that it's listening on
Did you check from an external host if the port forwarding works (see comments above)? Did you try turning off UPnP in Sia?
-
Where is there a setting for turning off UPnP in the Sia config? which file is the setting as I cant find it anywhere.
-
Not sure there is a setting. I don't have uPnP enabled (running pfSense) and hosting is working fine.
Is the sia host OS running a firewall?
-
@xurious @casbot1969 yeah sorry about that, I thought I had seed a setting related to UPNP, but I can't find it in the documentation now. But I see from your other thread that you got some input, and hope that it's working for you now.
