Anyyone who is running a Bitcoin Core node version .19 and higher will need to add the peerbloomfilters=1 option to their Bitcoin.conf file if they wish to use their node as a trusted peer for their SPV WALLETS. Apparently this option was deactivated with this version and higher due to a potential for a DDOS attack surface of some kind. I know that this was in the release notes however I missed this and figured there may be some others out there who did as well. I'm sure there are others out there scratching their heads as far as why they can't connect to their notes from the SPV clients so hopefully this will save the community some trouble.
Note you can also white list specific nodes if you didn't want to leave it wide open.
