Eos: Cant connect to mainnet nodes

[SoYouDie]

I'am trying to start full mainnet Eos node. Due to this link https://eosnodes.privex.io/ I've copied first 25 producers addresses and paste it to conifg.ini. But when i started node I got an error

The strange thing that syncing of node going not bad but this log looks really scary. Is it mean that I'am using wrong node addresses?

[jgiszczak]

The public nodes do not allow unlimited numbers of connections. Many of the initial public endpoints are likely to have reached their limits. The network does not self-organize, so you'll need to find alternative links, and remove those that are refusing to stay connected.

Since you're using net_plugin, you can do this without restarting, as long as you've also loaded net_api_plugin. With net_api_plugin loaded, you can use cleos to issue net connect, net disconnect, and net peers commands to add new connections, remove bad connections, and examine the status of all configured connections, respectively.

If you don't have net_api_plugin in your config file, wait until your nodeos has completed synchronizing with the public network, then shut it down and restart it with net_api_plugin added. You can cull your config file of unresponsive peers while you're at it.

Note that net disconnect does not remove a peer from config.ini. If a configured peer persistently refuses connections, you can net disconnect it to stop the errors in the log without restarting, but you'll also need to edit the config.ini file to remove the entry for the next time you restart.

I also met this problem, have you solved it？

[r3lik]

same issue. how can I tell if the node is syncing and its progress?

[jgiszczak]

@r3lik The nodeos console prints logging information during sync. You may also use cleos get info to retrieve your local node information. Both the head_block_num and the last_irreversible_block_num will track with the progress the local node is making. Here's a sample of a node just beginning mainnet synchronization:
