Anoying issues while hosting resulting in Host Unreachable



  • Hi everyone, this is my first post :) Yeeey

    So, i started hosting back in January, and since then i have 17 contracts.Everything was working fine until i had to change my computer i host on.
    Reasearching on the web told me i have co copy both SIA folders to the exact same location on the new computer, also i opened the 2 inbound ports, and added sia UI and siad to the firewall. Router setting did not change.

    Since on the new machine, every now and then i get Host Unreachable. Sometimes it works for a full day, then Host unreachable. Sometimes i get the host unreachable in 20 minuts from firing up Sia.
    I tried reannouncing the host, with no effect.I tried testing my ports with http://canyouseeme.org/ and my ports are open.
    After some research, i read on a forum that i have to change autoaddress in the host.json and everything will work fine, wich i did, but somehow that value gets rewritten every now and then by SIA with an IP that is not mine but i might had that since it is an IP of my internet provider(i use noip dns services for announcing my host). Is that normal ? The only location i can find that IP address is in the wallet folder in wallet.db. Intresting thing is that the the ip SIA is putting in autoaddress is always the same and is wrong. The netaddress shows my correct announced hostname.

    Currently i keep getting these messages in host.log:

    2018/03/15 20:04:39.260625 upnp.go:122: WARN: could not automatically forward port 9982: no UPnP-enabled gateway found
    2018/03/15 20:04:39.260625 network.go:208: ERROR: failed to forward port: no UPnP-enabled gateway found

    Can someone help me stabilise my host ? This is getting very anoying, as i started to check my host more than i check coinmarketcap ... :)))



  • Upgraded to 1.3.2, waiting to see if it still hapening.



  • Seems the issue was fixed in the new release. Since 2 weeks, no more Host Unreachable. Working to raise my uptime back wich went down from 97% to 92% ...
    Also the nice thing in the new update is that on siahub.info the uptime is updated nicely :)

    Thx Sia Dev TEAM for the great work !!!
