In go-ipfs, it is possible to manually configure addresses to announce or not announce to the swarm. https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/config.md#addressesannounce This PR adds the same feature to Lotus. It can be configured from the [libp2p] section of either the .lotus or .lotusstorage config.toml file. Example: [Libp2p] ListenAddresses = ["/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/34515", "/ip6/::/tcp/34515"] AnnounceAddresses = ["/ip4/52.13.91.110/tcp/34515"]

# Static Ports
|
|
|
|
Depending on how your network is set up, you may need to set a static port to successfully connect to peers to perform storage deals with your **Lotus Storage Miner**.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
To change the random **swarm port**, you may edit the `config.toml` file located under `$LOTUS_STORAGE_PATH`. The default location of this file is `$HOME/.lotusstorage`.
|
|
|
|
To change the port to `1347`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
[Libp2p]
|
|
ListenAddresses = ["/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/1347", "/ip6/::/tcp/1347"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After changing the port value, restart your **daemon**.
|
|
|
|
## Announce Addresses
|
|
|
|
If the **swarm port** is port-forwarded from another address, it is possible to control what addresses
|
|
are announced to the network.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
[Libp2p]
|
|
AnnounceAddresses = ["/ip4/<public-ip>/tcp/1347"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If non-empty, this array specifies the swarm addresses to announce to the network. If empty, the daemon will announce inferred swarm addresses.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, it is possible to set `NoAnnounceAddresses` with an array of addresses to not announce to the network.

## Ubuntu's Uncomplicated Firewall
|
|
|
|
Open firewall manually:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
ufw allow 1347/tcp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or open and modify the profile located at `/etc/ufw/applications.d/lotus-daemon`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
[Lotus Daemon]
|
|
title=Lotus Daemon
|
|
description=Lotus Daemon firewall rules
|
|
ports=1347/tcp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then run these commands:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
ufw update lotus-daemon
|
|
ufw allow lotus-daemon
|
|
```
