You may need to adapt your firewall rules or set up network address translation (NAT) to direct external traffic to the DAL node.
For more information, see [Running a DAL attester node](https://tezos.gitlab.io/shell/dal_run.html) in the Octez documentation.

This, too, may take some time to launch the first time because it needs to generate a new identity file, this time for the DAL network.

If the IP address of the computer that you are running the DAL node on is not public, add the `--public-addr` argument to specify the host name and port that clients should use to connect to the DAL node.
To set the address and port that the node listens on, pass the `--net-addr` argument.
By default, it listens on port 11732 on all available network interfaces, equivalent to `--net-addr 0.0.0.0:11732`.
