P2P ports
P2P ports are for node-to-node traffic. Nodes use P2P to discover peers, relay blocks, relay transactions, and stay synced.
If you want to help the mainnet with inbound peers, forward only 18761/tcp on your home router to your node.

Mainnet, testnet, and regtest port reference for HOBC nodes and official Tri-PoW mining pool stratum ports (5555–5559).
Mining pool stratum ports (TCP) for official HOBC pools. After height 16800 all stratum ports accept shares continuously in the Tri-PoW race — SHA-256d (5555–5557), KawPow (5558), and RandomX (5559).
You do not need to forward stratum ports on your router unless you run your own pool infrastructure. Miners connect outbound to pool.hobbyhashcoin.com.

RPC is for wallet and node commands. It can control funds, query wallet details, stop the daemon, and interact with your node. RPC must stay private.
Never forward RPC 18762 to the internet. Keep RPC bound to 127.0.0.1 unless you fully understand private network access control.

Use firewall rules that match your system and hosting provider. Keep examples simple and review them before applying.
# Allow inbound mainnet P2P only. # Example for ufw-based systems: sudo ufw allow 18761/tcp # Do not allow public RPC: # sudo ufw allow 18762/tcp # Do not run this for public access.
