Hey guys, I just downloaded and launched the Zcash full node on my windows 10 pc. It’s running, but is not synchronizing to the main net (showing 0 connections). I’ve read that I need to make sure the config file is set up to run out of the correct port (8232 in my case), but I can’t find the config file. Do I need to create one??
Yes you should create a config file, here are commands you can place in it:

Thanks! I eventually found the config file, but now there’s a new problem. My Full Node isn’t synchronizing. The debug log looks like this every time I initialize:

There’s a whole lot more of the repeating cycle. I checked windows defender, and it doesn’t seem like my ports are blocked. I also made an exception just to be sure. Are there other ways my ports could be blocked? Router?
Resolved.
After editing the config file it started syncing.
