I’ve setup from source and launched the **Testnet full node** using this manual - [Run a Sui Full node | Sui Docs](https://docs.sui.io/build/fullnode), but when I’m using following command:  
`curl -X POST 127.0.0.1:9000 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "sui_getTotalTransactionNumber", "params": [] }'`  
…it shows:  
`{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":2,"id":1}`  
So looks like my node is working, but not syncing.

Could anyone help me to fix the issue?

Thanks @Pyzz , but I don’t want to open ports  
Also, why I should use any external tools instead of using native commands?
