I've all that in my .crown/crown.conf. The server is a VPS, so its IP is public and there's no firewall or anything else that would block the port. In fact, I have 80 connections, including many incoming ones; I also verified that I can telnet to the address/port combination (51.254.131.226:9340). This used to work with the old client, and I haven't since touched the configs or the network configuration at all.
Working on it now, The VPS, does it have the funds stored on it as a hot node? or are you storing the funds locally? Just about to try and set one up myself now.
(edit) I'm getting incorrect port for mainnet but I have many connections and conifg is same. Let me guess, regenerate the throne because of the fork?
You shouldn't need to regenerate inputs because of the fork, if you have multiple vps' you could try switching to a cold node setup? It would give you a bit better security, and the ability to control all of the thrones from a single wallet, rather than having to navigate to each of the VPS' to start them if they go down.
That won't fix the hotnode problem, but i'm just about done my coffee, and getting into everything now. I'll let you guys know what i find.
Right ! finally recreated, just working on finding the issue now.
