I'm trying to connect my hardware wallet to my personal full node for the sake of privacy. I need to know the node's IP, port, and RPC credentials. The first two are easy, I can see my full node in bitcodes.io that's up and running. I added the
rpcuser=xxx
rpcpassword=****
to the bitcoin.conf file. But When I try to connect through my hardware wallet application, it says: The node is not reachable. I'm not sure whether the bitcoind is reading the rpc inputs from the config file or not. Is there anyway that I could try to reach to my node to make sure it's reachable using the rpc credentials.
Here is the content in the bitcoin.conf file:
prune=0
txindex=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=letsbegin
rpcpassword=*****
externalip=xx.xx.xx.xx
