Create new wallet in Zap iOS and scan QR code
Describe the bug Connected to remote node on my local network two days ago and opened a channel, using the iOS app, with Zap Technologies. Yesterday and today tried to connect to remote node from outside my local network, but could not connect. Edit4: My node is discoverable and listed on 1ml.com. Another node operator has opened a channel to my node, unprompted by me.
Additional context Remote node is on a raspberry pi 4 with Samsung SSD. Running bitcoind, not over tor. Fully synced before installing LND. Running LND v0.11.1. Forwarding ports 8333, 9735, and 10009 TCP/UDP to the Pi 4's static IP address. No firewall was added to Raspbian OS. Using lndconnect to generate a QR code which is scanned by Zap iOS. Edit1: I just tried connecting to the remote node using Zap Desktop, and it worked just fine. Edit2: I tried using the same URI that I just used on Zap Desktop, but on Zap iOS, and I connected successfully over home WiFi. Edit3: I thought maybe it was just the QR code, but I just tried using a URI generated by lndconnect (without the -i option) and that did not work. An error is displayed immediately (in less than 0.1 seconds) "Could not connect to server. (Name resolution failure)" Edit4: My node is discoverable and listed on 1ml.com.
I have tried SO many combinations of options in lnd.conf. I've been searching online for two days to figure out where I went wrong, and nothing has worked. This is the current state of my lnd.conf:
I have tried nat=true, that didn't work.
Expected behavior Connect to remote node.
