I have cloned litecoin for fun and i am struggling with connecting to nodes. I have generated genesis block and compilation all works fine.
I have two litecoin daemons running on my local Macosx and on amazon vps but i cant seem to connect both. I am running mainnet on port 26201
i tried running ./litecoind -daemon -addnode=x.y.y.y but it is not working.

debug.log (vps) The debug.log on my vps shows this (lots of lines) with port numbers cycled.
2018-02-23 17:09:19 connection from x.x.x.x:55668 dropped (banned)
2018-02-23 17:09:19 connected to self at y.y.y.y:49226, disconnecting
I know x.x.x.x is my ip of macosx and y.y.y.y is local vps server public ip address.
Why is it iam not able to connect to nodes?
Looking at the debug.log why are the IP's cycling through different ports over 55,000 instead of connecting to 26201 where it is supposed to connect?
