Besides bitnodes is there another service that can help confirm a functioning node outside of the Umbrel Bitcoin app?

<p>The Bitcoin Core 25 App has just finished syncing 100% on the Umbrel node. Within the App I confirm seeing new Bitcoin blocks arrive. Not sure why bitnodes.io shows the following message:</p>
<p>{IP Address} is unreachable.</p>
<p>Additional info:</p>
<ol>
<li>Connected to Nord VPN service at my home router</li>
<li>Ports 8333 are open at my home router</li>
<li>Port forwarding is enabled for 8333</li>
</ol>

# confirm bitcoin node on bitnodes.io

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-10-19)

The Bitcoin Core 25 App has just finished syncing 100% on the Umbrel node. Within the App I confirm seeing new Bitcoin blocks arrive. Not sure why bitnodes.io shows the following message:

{IP Address} is unreachable.

Additional info:

1. Connected to Nord VPN service at my home router
2. Ports 8333 are open at my home router
3. Port forwarding is enabled for 8333
