 Connection settings
rpcuser=raspibolt
rpcpassword=1212431
addnode=104.237.131.138

maxorphantx=10
maxmempool=50
maxconnections=40
maxuploadtarget=5000

I have the addnode from this thread:

testnet3 node sync process is very slow

in the getnetworkinfo stands:

"version": 160000,
  "subversion": "/Satoshi:0.16.0/",
  "protocolversion": 70015,
  "localservices": "000000000000040d",
  "localrelay": true,
  "timeoffset": 0,
  "networkactive": true,
  "connections": 17,
  "networks": 
  "warnings": "Warning: unknown new rules activated (versionbit 28)"

and in the debug log stands:

2018-04-24 17:39:51 connect() to 85.207.214.190:18333 failed after select(): Connection refused (111)
2018-04-24 17:38:16 connect() to [2001:470:c144:cafe::a]:18333 failed: Network is unreachable (101)

anyone have an idea where the error lies?

my testnet port: 18333 is open.

many thanks for the help!

How much time did you give it? Could take a while until it finds peers on testnet. Both errors in your log aren't to uncommon. – 0xb10c – 2018-04-24T18:39:52.287

several days. in the debug have i peer conection: 2018-04-24 18:41:24 New outbound peer connected: version: 70015, blocks=1294178, peer=10 2018-04-24 18:41:24 New outbound peer connected: version: 70015, blocks=1294178, peer=11 2018-04-24 18:41:25 New outbound peer connected: version: 70015, blocks=1294178, peer=12 can i switch to mainnet with this error? thank for you help :) – Michael Vogel – 2018-04-24T18:57:34.177

What error? Those debug.log lines are pretty standard to see, you'll see them as nodes that were online go offline. You have active connections, what is the problem? – Andrew Chow – 2018-04-24T20:17:02.837

the error in the debug.log irritated me. connect() to 115.68.73.83:18333 failed after select(): No route to host (113) is this not bad? – Michael Vogel – 2018-04-25T05:27:11.677

i have add this line i n my config. in the debug log: 2018-04-25 05:11:38 Bound to [::]:18333 2018-04-25 05:11:38 Bound to 0.0.0.0:18333 but the Connection refused (111) are still there. my firewall I deactivated and the port 18333 is open. i have check under yougetsignal.com. in the debug.log have i updatetip: new best=00000000000000bd6da9189e324ba9852ea348c27f392b06a31429c783470020 height=1294289 version=0x20000000 log2_work=69.90756 tx=17934320 date='2018-04-25 05:20:26' progress=1.000000 cache=0.0MiB(356txo) Does not he get a connection to all nodes? – Michael Vogel – 2018-04-25T05:32:00.550
