Not sure how to solve your problem. But the good news is that you probably don't need to solve it.
Between your node and mine, we'll probably both be online between the two of us. Oh and the other tens of thousands of nodes.
Or did I overlook something?
No, you didn't.
But I want to have the full bitcoin full node experience with helping to bootstrap other nodes during their initial block download. Also, I consider it interesting to see which nodes connect to me etc.
