Need help with my Mysterium VPN node - Online but constantly shows "monitoring failed"

Hey fellow Redditors,

I hope you’re all doing well. I’m reaching out to the community today because I’m facing an issue with my Mysterium VPN node and could really use some assistance.

Here’s the problem: Whenever I start my node, it initially shows up as online, but unfortunately, the quality seems to be quite poor. Soon after, it consistently transitions to “monitoring failed,” and I’m unsure how to resolve this issue.

I’ve tried troubleshooting on my own, but I haven’t had much luck. I suspect there might be a configuration problem or perhaps an issue with my network settings. I’m relatively new to running a Mysterium node, so any guidance or suggestions from experienced users would be greatly appreciated.

To provide you with more context, here are some additional details:

  • I’m running the node on Arch Linux with 1.21.0 version of Mysterium VPN.
  • I have a stable internet connection with decent bandwidth.
  • I’ve followed the installation and setup instructions provided by Mysterium diligently.

I’m hoping someone in this fantastic community has encountered a similar problem or has expertise in troubleshooting Mysterium nodes. If you could share any insights, tips, or steps I could take to diagnose and resolve this issue, I would be immensely grateful.

Please feel free to ask for any specific details or logs that might assist in identifying the problem. I’m more than happy to provide any necessary information to help you help me.

Thank you so much in advance for your support! I truly appreciate any assistance you can offer, as it will contribute to both my personal growth and the success of the Mysterium network.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Best regards, Ubermensch

Hi,

I have excatly same problem, conntacted their support but they claiming is something wrong with port forwading on my side, which is bs coz all my other services using port forward working fine, except mysterium node(btw Nat status on my web gui shows FULL CONE) which means is open to all connections

you need to configure port forwarding (and probably static local IP for ur node) on your router

100000-300000 UDP

you can find guide fir your router on internet
