Monero on Tails OS - Connection Errors Download Node

[Mike34542]

I'm trying to run the Monero wallet in Tails using the Guide to creating a Monero GUI wallet in Tails.
I run the following iptables command from within the extracted Monero wallet:

sudo iptables -I OUTPUT 2 -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 -m tcp --dport 18081 -j ACCEPT
[sudo] password for amnesia: 

But the command does't return anything. So I'm not sure if the port has been opened through Tails' firewall. I then run command.

DNS_PUBLIC=tcp torsocks ./monerod --p2p-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --no-igd --rpc-bind-ip 127.0.0.1 --data-dir /media/amnesia/monero

The node begins to download. I get a few errors.

2020-04-03 19:19:26.124	I Synced 46512/2068842 (2%, 2022330 left)

2020-04-03 19:19:28.302	I Synced 46612/2068842 (2%, 2022230 left)

But the node continues to download regardless. It always reaches 18% before I get these errors.

If the problem is indeed this.

2020-04-03 18:18:57.415 W No incoming connections - check firewalls/routers allow port 18080

Did the iptables command not run? Though that was for port 18081.
I have also already opened port 18080 on my dlink router.

And I've also tried using a virtual server on the router:

I'm not sure where the problem lies. Using the latest Tails OS and Monero Wallet. Anyhelp would be great appreciated.

Thank you in advance...

Do you have enough space on your disk ? I/O error usually means the hardware is busted, but with LMDB it can be no space left on device. The partition with the db should have at least a couple GB for resizing (ultimately, it wants either ~85 GB for a full blockchain or about ~25 GB for a pruned one).

[moneromooo-monero]

18080 only uses TCP btw, if you want to restrict a bit.

Not knowing the inner workings of a dlink port forward, I'd say UDP is the culprit.
The protocol should be either any, or TCP. Preferably TCP.

I'm using a SanDisk 128GB SD with a write speed of 130MB/s. Ive written to the drive already.

Will restrict the virtual server to TCP. Thanks!

FWIW I get those tor errors even when it works fine, they're not prima facie evidence of connection issues.

[Mike34542]

The problem was is that I formatted the SD card with a FAT32 (same as Tails OS) and the download would max out at 4gb oops. I used Linux's file system and so far have reach 93%. Can you recommend a Bitcoin to Monero exchange i can use from within Tails OS?

[moneromooo-monero]

Ask in #monero or reddit.

[Mike34542]

monerod stopped syncing at 96% and ended with this massage:

W monerod is now disconnected from the network

Has it finished? If not how can i force monerod to complete its sync?

[moneromooo-monero]

Restart with --log-level 1, wait for an error to happen in verification, post the resulting end of the log showing it.

I dont know if this helps but I also ran monerod status:

It's failing to start because you've got another one running already:
