<p>My bitcoin core is not sending outbound connections. It's only getting inbound connections. Iv deleted the whole node then reinstalled it. Still it was only getting inbound connections. Iv checked firewall settings and the node is set to receive inbound and outbound connections. Does anyone know what problem might be? Could I just sync blockchain with only inbound connections?</p>

I suspect you mean the other way around. What does "getpeerinfo" tell you?

That's very strange. How did you determine this is the case?

You made a typo there saying "inbound" twice. You may want to clarify.
