<p>When configuring the <code>bitcoin.conf</code> file, what should you put in <code>connect=</code>?  There are IP addresses listed here, so I removed the <code>#</code> sign and left them as is.

Where does one verify which nodes are trusted and which not?  Should I remove the # sign and enter my WAN and local IP, or should I leave the defaults?  Sorry, I realize that my intermediate command line and tcp/ip knowledge may make this question look ridiculous, but I just wanted to confirm.  Thanks, oemb1905.

That was helpful.  However, how come the defaults then are not listed on the trusted nodes wiki?  The default lists 69.164.218.197 and 10.0.0.2:8333 ... whose nodes are those?

So then I should replace that entry with one of the nodes listed on the page you referred me to?

When configuring the `bitcoin.conf` file, what should you put in `connect=`? There are IP addresses listed here, so I removed the `#` sign and left them as is. I also entered my WAN address and my local IP address with the forwarded port a separate time. What should I enter and how will I know it is working correctly?
