How am I able to know if my Bitcoin node is broadcasting to help other nodes?

Hi, I’m new to all this stuff. Just finished syncing the blockchain 100%.

I think I was also able to open port 8333 from my router after setting a static IP for my umbrel.
In umbrelOS terminal, I ran the command netstat -tuplen and saw

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8333 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 4305679

I want to know how I can make sure everything is set up properly and my node is reachable. I tried searching for my node in bitnodes but no result so I’m not sure what address to put there. Should it be an onion address (and how will I find it)?


Also here are some of my settings above. Any more recommended settings to optimize my node or make it more helpful for the network?

i have the same problem “how can i find myself at bitnode.io” wait for the answer.
