How to resolve Heimdall seed connection errors?

Question

Im having trouble with my Heimdall node not being able to connect to any seeds. Ive followed the docs and started the Bor service, but I get errors like Couldn’t connect to any seeds and it seems the Heimdall rest server shuts down.

You may need to clear the addrbook.json file. Heres how: Open the config.toml file: vi /var/lib/heimdall/config/config.toml Stop the heimdalld service: sudo service heimdalld stop Clear your addrbook: sudo service heimdalld stop cp /var/lib/heimdall/config/addrbook.json /var/lib/heimdall/config/addrbook.json.bkp rm /var/lib/heimdall/config/addrbook.json Increase max_num_inbound_peers and max_num_outbound_peers in /var/lib/heimdall/config/config.toml: max_num_inbound_peers = 300 max_num_outbound_peers = 100 Restart the heimdalld service: sudo service heimdalld start. Its also suggested to add the necessary entries in persistent peers and try once before following the steps above.
