remember when using testnet rpc config needs to go under [test] section.

<p>To sync faster your config should be like that:</p>

<pre><code>testnet=1
blocksonly=1
rpcport=5000
server=1
listen=0
prune=1000 # this has no effect during syncing 
dbcache=16000 # will take too much memory
rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0
rpcuser=someuser
rpcpassword=somepass
</code></pre>

Thanks @Adam, I will try this.  And I want to know should we use rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0 or we can remove from the config file because this is 0 only?

If you want to use RPC remotely you should set here your IP range or 0.0.0.0/0 for any IP.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-04-07)

I am new to blockchain, I want to setup my node in testnet network in my ubuntu machine.

I am using this below mentioned bitcoin.conf file. Is this the correct format to sync the node faster? Or I need to do the changes in this config file.

```
testnet=1
dnsseed=0
upnp=0
setgenerate=1
blocksonly=1

port=12000
rpcport=5000

server=1
prune=1000

rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0

rpcuser=someuser
rpcpassword=somepass

```

Meanwhile...

addnode needs to be in the [test] section for testnet. So it's

```
[test]
addnode=104.237.131.138
addnode=151.80.205.132
addnode=192.155.82.123
addnode=74.220.255.190
addnode=80.100.203.151

```

now.
