However, farming for levels is a tedious, usually a pretty lengthy process. With enchantments like Mending in the game as well, having enough experience points in the long run has become even more important when trying to get the best possible gear and maintaining it. Whereas the firewall looks at the traffic and sees both the source and destination port, so a rule only allowing traffic from port 8444 to port 8444 doesn’t allow through most of the peers that are using a different port as their outgoing port.Ĭomodo Firewall has a section for Global Rules, which is where I’ve set the rule to allow incoming traffic from any port to port 8444 and a section for Application Rules, which is where I’ve allowed all incoming/outgoing traffic to/from the various Chia components.In order to get some of the coolest gear in Minecraft, players will need to focus most of their efforts on gathering levels. Certainly I saw far fewer peers than I do now.Īs I understand the port forward rule, it just tells the router to forward traffic that’s has a destination port 8444 to a specific IP address, regardless of what outgoing port the other end is using. There’s the odd one that shows 8444/8444 but they’re very much in the minority and I think that’s all I saw before I changed the firewall rule. The Chia GUI shows that peers are connecting from various ports to 8444, like 38724/8444. I don’t really see how “add a rule to your firewall” can be read as “add a port forward to your router”. As I come across more solutions, I will add them to this page. These are the things you can do and check to ensure that there are no roadblocks preventing the syncing of the block chain. Western North America: :8444Įastern North America: :8444 Don’t add all of them (Thanks willphule!) Just click the “Connect to other Peers” button in the Chia Client and add the IP/port: North Asia: :8444 These are listed on the Chia Teams GitHub page. If you are still having sync issues and not connecting to peers, add one of the following IP address in your Chia Client. Add A Chia Introducer – This is a Last Resort. It should fill out your Public IP address automatically: Įdit: Thank you to Anees in the comment section for making me realize I was missing step 6.ħ. Go to this website and enter port 8444 to check. Port Check – Once port 8444 has been forwarded, you need to check if the port is actually open from the outside. If this is you, remember that if you forward port 8444 on your router you also have to forward it on the ISP modem/router.Ħ. Then, they piggy back their own router off this one. Router on Router? – Some people have a modem/router combo from their ISP for their internet service. Then Synchronize the time with the Windows Time Server.ĥ. Manually Select your Timezone to the correct one. Turn off “Automatic Timezone” but keep “Automatic Time”. On Windows, if you have “Set Time Zone Automatically” selected, it may cause sync issues due to incorrect time. Timezone Settings – Make sure that your time is correct. Restart the Chia Client when this is complete.Ĥ. Then you must change the config file to disable UPNP by changing the following value: To fix this, and keep UPNP disabled on the router, you must Forward port 8444 in your router. Plus you will be limited to 10 peers instead of 50. Essentially, only you can connect out to peers but no one can connect to you. If you do have UPNP errors, this means your router does not have it enabled (which is good security-wise) but bad for the Chia Client. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, follow this and come back. UPNP errors – Check the Chia Client log and make sure you don’t have any UPNP errors.This isn’t required, but it has helped some people fix their sync issue. Router update – Install the latest update to your router.Windows Firewall – Make sure that the chia client is allowed through the firewall.If you are having synchronization issues, perform the following: Hopefully this will point you in the right direction. I will be a bit high-level on this subject because there are so many configurations out there that I can’t possibly cover them all. To help mitigate this, there are a few things you can do to ensure that you have no roadblocks in the way. This means that the synchronization times of the blockchain is going through the roof. Recently however, there has been an explosion of new people wanting to farm Chia. As such, the Chia Client uses a peer-to-peer network to download the blockchain. The Chia network is developed by Bram Cohen, the inventor of BitTorrent.
