🔓 How to Open Port 7506 for LanaCoin P2P Network

To ensure optimal connectivity with the LanaCoin peer-to-peer (P2P) network, it’s important to open port 7506 on both your router and Windows firewall. This allows your LanaCoin wallet to accept incoming connections, improving sync speed and network reliability.

🛠️ Step 1: Open Port 7506 on Your Router

  1. Log in to your router:
    • Open a browser and enter your router’s IP address (commonly 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1).
    • Enter your username and password.
  2. Find the Port Forwarding section:
    • Look for “Port Forwarding,” “Virtual Server,” or “NAT” in the settings.
  3. Create a new port forwarding rule:
    • Service Name: LanaCoin
    • Port Range: 7506
    • Protocol: TCP (or TCP/UDP if required)
    • Local IP Address: Enter the IP of the computer running the LanaCoin wallet
    • Local Port: 7506
    • Status: Enabled
  4. Save and apply changes.
  5. Restart your router (if necessary).

🧱 Step 2: Allow Port 7506 Through Windows Firewall

  1. Open Windows Firewall Settings:
    • Press Win + R, type wf.msc, and press Enter.
  2. Create a new inbound rule:
    • Go to Inbound Rules > New Rule.
    • Select Port > Click Next.
    • Choose TCP and enter 7506 in the “Specific local ports” field.
    • Click Next, then select Allow the connection.
    • Apply the rule to Domain, Private, and Public.
    • Name the rule (e.g., “LanaCoin Port 7506”) and click Finish.
  3. Repeat for outbound rule (optional but recommended).

âś… Step 3: Verify the Port Is Open

  • Use a tool like canyouseeme.org to check if port 7506 is open.
  • Make sure your LanaCoin wallet is running and listening on that port.
