<p>I installed bitcoin-core (<a href="https://bitcoin.org" rel="nofollow">https://bitcoin.org</a>) on my server and run it as testnet. After that I tried to create a new testnet address "miYAFfw8xFEj2VCKKsMCu5L4uCEvC73xh5" at this page:
<a href="http://tpfaucet.appspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://tpfaucet.appspot.com</a>. 
The problem is I don't see the address "miYAFfw8xFEj2VCKKsMCu5L4uCEvC73xh5" on my bitcoin server. I tried with RPC command:
bitcoin-cli getaddressesbyaccount "ngoc_wallet1" 
But the result is empty object.</p>

<p>this my bitcoin.conf:</p>

<pre><code> rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
 rpcpassword=TMPP4iDWrcGMsyhZC2byTW6pb4rHcz4xK17gkKFQ4wnY

 # server=1 tells Bitcoin to accept JSON-RPC commands. 
 server=1

 # Run on the test network instead of the real bitcoin network. 
 testnet=1
</code></pre>

<p>I'm not sure what settings should I need to do more.</p>

<p>I would like to have synchronize bitcoin data from bitcoin network continuously. Please help me to know how the bitcoin server can accept inbound connection bitcoin data from others full node?</p>

Sounds like you created an account/wallet on that website. Just forget about that.

Instead open your own bitcoin-qt, click Receive and copy/paste the address specified there to the faucet website.

In general you always want to be the owner of Bitcoins yourself, not create accounts on websites.
