Anybody noticed that in the current GUI release (and the previous one) the sync never finishes? I'm running a full node, the sync stays forever at "Daemon blocks remaining: 2"

mikemonero: Which operating system are you using?

Win10

Current "sync_info": [23/12/2020 18:32] 2020-12-23 17:32:44.035 I Monero 'Oxygen Orion' (v0.17.1.7-release)

Height: 2258625, target: 2258627 (99.9999%)

Please try applying the ban list -> old.reddit.com/r/monerosupport/comm…i_and_a_trezor_t/gglvzz7/?context=3

Note that it requires a restart

@dEBRUYNE That seemed to do the trick, thanks! Just out of curiosity: What is the purpose of the "ban list"? Exclude faulty peers?

Yes, banning the malicious misbehaving peers

Thanks again. I do hope such peers are just an annoyance an not worse ...
