## Issue Report ### Environment Operating System:_Ubuntu 20.04/22.04_ Advanced CLI gemini-3h-2024-jan-31-2 ### Problem Operators of nodes from Russia reported that there are no peers, I am among them. There are 2 different servers that are not connected to each other and have different providers. After uninstalling 3g which was working fine I installed 3h but no peers, I checked the ports and they were all available. Then I installed the software on the other hardware and the peers were there at first, however I noticed over time that they also disappeared. The 3h telemetry shows that users from the Russian cities of Tyumen and Volokonovka also have no peers. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/subspace/original/2X/f/f8c707864b5f89ad2df23faf6ae9601a98fa611c.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/subspace/original/2X/b/b7a1a8cd874f295784c5c87d3d1ba5e1a833e03b.png) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/subspace/original/2X/6/68e5291e384cec0cd43cd9fc1ff3bbb236ee43b8.png) ---

@shamil any idea how we should go about trying to identify what is common between these nodes that would present the reported symptoms? ---

Yesterday, Russian users experienced major DNS issues but we don’t use those domains and it’s unlikely connected. I would start debugging by inspecting logs(with RUST\_LOG=debug environment variable) followed by the change of the local network (e.g.: running from the different cloud vm). Also, it doesn’t seem like a DSN problem - the symptoms indicate that Substrate network can’t be connected. ---

This is expected as farming is not enabled yet. Sounds like your original network issue was related to a temporary DNS issue that prevented you hitting the bootstrap nodes. Thanks for the assistance @shamil. ---

I encountered the same problem, for some reason the node cannot detect the external IP address When the message “Consensus: sub-libp2p: 🔍 Discovered new external address for our node:” does not appear, then the node does not see peers; changing port 30333 to 30334 helped some, although they are accessible and not busy with anything else ---

Our bootstrap nodes are a bit overwhelmed right now, they were crashing a bit, but we’ve got it mostly under control now, so situation going forward should be better. ---

I hope it’s resolved soon. ---

unfortunately still have no peers, will try port 30334 now ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/subspace/original/2X/b/b42bcac3245f0aa70965e73b374efd5510d46248.png) ---

Yes, looks like it - it doesn’t appear to me. added --listen-on /ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/30334 ` but it doesn’t work for me
