# Lido <-> SSV DVT

## Are my ports *actually* open?

1. Open a terminal inside the machine that runs the SSV node, and run this command to get it's public IP:
    ```bash
    curl ifconfig.me
    ```
    Note: If SSV is under Docker, in most cases it's using the same IP as your machine. If you're not sure, here's a bulletproof way to check the IP from inside the SSV container:
    ```bash
    docker exec <ssv-container-name-or-id> wget -qO- ifconfig.me
    ```
2. Open https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ in your browser
3. Paste the node's IP into `Remote Address`, and the TCP port you wanna check into `Port Number`
    *(by default it's 13001, unless you set `TcpPort` in the `config.yaml` or passed the `TcpPort` env variable)*
4. Click [Check]

Does it say that the port is open?

## How many peers do I have?

You should expect to have around 50-60 peers (the default limit).

You can check this by searching for the log `connected peers status`.

If you're using Docker, you can search with this command:
```bash
docker logs <ssv-container-name-or-id> 2>&1 | grep "connected peers status"
```
