Okay so I've gotten into my router. It's a regular AT&T router. I'm at the option for ports.
Service Name: Assuming I can write whatever I want for that?
Global Port Range: [port]-[Port]
Base Host Port. [port]
Protocol: TCP/UDP, TCP, Or UDP

I don't understand how all this works. What should be in the boxes?

I'm from different county, so i've no idea about configure AT&T router. You can check https://portforward.com/, it has guide for almost all router.

I'm only sure that you need to choose TCP protocol and port 8333 when configure port forwarding.

Hello, I am using a Mac Book Pro (2015). I am connected to an external hard drive running Bitcoin Core.

is this a mechanical hard drive? if so, what speed does it rotate at? 5400 rpm models perform badly for almost anything. Is the main laptop disk an SSD?

Everything runs fine until I click or even hover mouse over file. Any idea why it's freezing. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

This could be a symptom of the disk tech performance I'm alluding to above, but it could also be down to Bitcoin itself (the developers are slowly re-writing the parts of the code that manages how many things can happen simultaneously. until they complete this task, the gui becoming unresponsive is to be expected)

1. If you have an SSD main disk (or any SSD with ~4GB space), copy the chainstate folder onto the SSD, then make a symlink in macOS terminal from the original location to the location on the SSD
2. Stop using the GUI version. The graphics library is a significant part of the concurrency issues. The cli version (bitcoind) does not freeze

I'm also trying to run a full bitcoin node. Right now the software is opened and it's downloaded all the blocks the I know of. When I go to peers it says I have 8 connections. The memory pool is keeping track of transactions and memory usage. When I go to bitnodes and use my ip address it says i'm not connected. I've checked and the peers i'm connected to do show up on bitcodes as connect. What do I need to do so mine is considered connected?
