everyone should support bitcoin network anyway they can

Ok I'm not a tech guy and I've figured this out by trial and error and a bit of research.  My machine has plenty of resources to run the core - 1tb HD 16g ram.  I'm just concerned that after loading this core (it's running), I'm not helping, as there are only 7 outgoing connections and 1 incoming. 

And, I've taken the step to use a resource that can apparently recognize if my machine is reachable which it turns out it's not.  This, despite the information I've provided regarding outgoing/incoming connections on my client.  I"m confused.  Am I helping or accomplishing nothing.

Thx

it will be helpful for you, if you want to try use a vps ( 20-40 GB of hardisk minimum , because the blockchain is "large").
this is exactly why i am using lightweight wallet electrum. because i dont want 30 GB of my precious hard drive go to waste!
You help bitcoin by running a core.
The problem more than space disk is ram,you need lot of ram.

what the exact amount more or less? For OS + Core?

2 GB? 4?8? More?
hey , i belive its 6gb atleast. dont actually know the exact amount

Well, I've downloaded the bitcoin client, updated it and now it's running. But, when I select Help-debug-Peers, I see 7 outgoing and 1 incoming clients.  And, when I check my client using this address https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/  I see the following message: 172.12.117.167:8333 is unreachable

I see  this even when all firewalls are turned off 

If someone has suggestions I'm listening

You will not waste your HDD space, if you set up a bitcoin node you will help alot the bitcoin network (the late of decentralization).

Blockchain file is about 31GB as far as I know , and it's not a small size as before (the second link you posted says he bought Cloud server with 20 GB ) which is not enough if he wants to run one now . So basically you should consider buying something with 40GB +

Oh yes, the second link is a thread of "November 13, 2013". However I  told 20-40 gb (see the bold part) but you are right the bitcoin blockchain is more than 30 Gb (at the moment).

a Simillar thread to yours here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/what-is-a-bitcoin-node-and-how-to-setup-one-955415
Basically (looking at the answers) , all you need to do is run your Bitcoin Core (Blockchain file should be downloaded and wallet Synchroznied with the network) and open port 8333 TCP , and that's it .
and no , there is no risk for your Coins to be stolen as far as I know

I have been reading about bitcoin for quite a bit and see there is a need for people to host a masternode or core. Since I bought btc I figure I could possible run one of these nodes to support a system I'm a part of now.  The problem is I am not a programmer so I would need something reasonably simple.  I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction so I can do my part to facilitate the growth of this coin.  One other thing. If I host this node are the coins I own at risk of being stolen for some reason?  Thanks and I look forward to helping
