Only 10 connections on my raspberry pi full node

Question

I'd like to know why I only get 10 connections on my full node? Is there something missing in the conf file?

$bitcoin-cli -netinfo

Bitcoin Core v0.21.0.0-7d8a10a6f - 70016/Satoshi:0.21.0/

	ipv4	onion	total	block-relay
in	0	0	0	0
out	7	3	10	2
total	7	3	10	2

Local addresses

myadress.onion port 8333 score 4

my bitcoin.conf file

#Tor stuff

proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 #outgoing

listen=1 #enable download of new data

bind=127.0.0.1

deamon=1 #to run binary in background s.t. console is free

server=1 #to access deamon API

rest=1 #deamon offers web service so other tools like curl can access it

rpcuser=myuser

rpccallowip=127.0.0.1

rpcbind=127.0.0.1

maxconnections =50

Let me know if you need more info, thx!

bind=127.0.0.1

Binding the p2p port to localhost means that it can not accept incoming connections from anywhere other than software on your own machine.

listen=1 #enable download of new data

This allows incoming connections to whatever is configured by bind, it doesn't have anything to do with downloading data yourself.

Ok didn't know that thx! Unfortunately I still don't get more than 10 connections even after deleting the line from the bitcoin.conf file..

Your node might not be reachable from the internet, if you using a firewall or a NAT. Even if it is reachable, it may take hours or days before other nodes start connecting to you.
