Running a New Node Port 9651 Forwarding Error

[ykoksal]

I have just begun to run a node on avalanche and it is currently bootstrapping. However, when I started it it gives the following error:

ERROR[02-25|17:57:56.839] nat/nat.go#90: Renewing port mapping try #1 from external port 9651 to internal port 9651 failed with SOAP fault:
ERROR[02-25|17:57:57.844] nat/nat.go#90: Renewing port mapping try #2 from external port 9651 to internal port 9651 failed with SOAP fault:
ERROR[02-25|17:57:58.848] nat/nat.go#90: Renewing port mapping try #3 from external port 9651 to internal port 9651 failed with SOAP fault:
ERROR[02-25|17:57:59.848] nat/nat.go#72: NAT Traversal failed from external port 9651 to internal port 9651 with SOAP fault:

I had also port forwarded to 9651 from my router and also checked the IP address of the computer where node is running.
What am I missing?

My problem is solved. I bought static IP from my ISP for port forwarding to run smoothly

I have also linked static up address, but when I run test net it fails

Fails On test net, woks fine on mainet

Also curl localhost works

Same experience on aws and azure VM

I am not capable of giving an answer to that one, it might be better someone competent answers that

In general, this NAT traversal failure isn't a critical error. I've made a ticket for us to change the log level here from ERROR to WARN.

I would suggest using a static IP for your node and specifying it with the --public-ip flag.

If you can't use a static IP, I suggest using flag --public-ip-resolution-service=ifconfigco to dynamically resolve your node's IP from time to time.

See documentation for more information.
