Moved vnode from AWS to Contabo, but ports are not connecting

#1

I moved vnode from AWS to Contabo, but ports are not connecting. I stopped the AWS and did curl to contabo and it seemed fine, but now i can’t connect the node. does it just take a while?

I tested the main ip with this website https://www.adminkit.net/telnet.aspx and it works with port 22, but with 9334 it’s not working.

docker stats and docker ps look good, but do i have to forward the ports now?

Not sure what to do. please help!

Hi @Joe_Moffett, did you open these ports: rpc port & p2p port?
This is a related topic: Advanced set up: customize the port of your Node

That is kind of weird. I run several servers with Contabo and have never fiddled with port settings. Are you sure you are using the right IP address?

I have no idea what’s going or what I did. I’m starting to lose it.

I started with AWS and everything was working up until recently, but I must have made a million mistakes.

And now I can’t access my AWS instance from terminal bc it won’t recognize my private key. I feel like i need to start from square one, but don’t even know how to do that

#6

yea they gave me an ip address and a vnc ip, i used the regular ip not the vnc?

#7

I tried using these instructions, unfortunately, i cannot figure it out. I tried the rpc thing, but nothing was working, but honestly i just don’t know what i’m doing

#8

Did you use your validator key to start the node on Contabo?
It doesn’t work with your private key.

Joe if you used your private key I suggest to transfer your funds to a new account and delete which you exposed. I did not do any research on the topic, but your private key now potentially present in many log files.

Thanks @raz for the heads up will do ASAP I hope that’s not the case, but just in case I will start switching over

#12

Wait are you saying if I used my private key in the curl function? I didn’t do that if that’s what you are saying

Solved - I’m stupid! Thanks for the help everyone and sorry for that

Basically, I was just doing things out of order all over the place because the amazon set up was so different and had pictures, so I was clonflating instructions. Lessons learned!
