externalip and "getinfo" nodeaddress

Question

Hi.

When setting externalip on multichain startup I would expect to also see this ip address in the response of "getinfo" -> nodeaddress field.

But there is another address (some local non reachable address) provided.

Wouldn't it make more sense to also forward the externalip here?

Answer 1

Thanks for this suggestion. We have discussed this internally and have agreed that this field will be changed to show the (first) -externalip address provided in future versions.

In the meantime, you may want to use the getnetworkinfo command for a comprehensive list of local IP addresses on which the node is listening.

Answer 2

This issue should be resolved in today's releases.
