Thank you so much for the quick reply! it made me realize this whole time I was just being a dingus and my UFW rules were a wee bit off. Just fixed it and it works fine.

Wow thanks for sharing your UFW setup! You made these yourself?.. Giving me fuel to step my game up as an SPO!

<p>Please excuse the noob-ic question:</p>
<p>My block producer node shows 0 Total Tx and 0 Pending Tx on gLiveView:</p>
<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/fdTZh.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/fdTZh.png" alt="Core Node" /></a></p>
<p>However, my two relay nodes have non-zero total and pending tx values, and seem to only be going up. Here is a screenshot of one:</p>
<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/O9ygd.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/O9ygd.png" alt="Relay Node" /></a></p>
<p>The BP is connected to the two relays, and the two relays are connected to each other as well as other relays. Is this going to be a problem for block production or is this expected/normal?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!!</p>

Please excuse the noob-ic question:

My block producer node shows 0 Total Tx and 0 Pending Tx on gLiveView:

[![Core Node](https://i.sstatic.net/fdTZh.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/fdTZh.png)

However, my two relay nodes have non-zero total and pending tx values, and seem to only be going up. Here is a screenshot of one:

[![Relay Node](https://i.sstatic.net/O9ygd.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/O9ygd.png)

The BP is connected to the two relays, and the two relays are connected to each other as well as other relays. Is this going to be a problem for block production or is this expected/normal?

Thanks in advance!!

**Possible solutions:**

**First:** In your mainnet-config.json file, set "TraceMemPool": true

Then restart the node.
