Failed to connect to swap.lightning.today and others

Hello everyone,

my new raspberry pi 4, 8 GB RAM with 2 TB SSD arrived on Thursday. I have installed umbrel without any issues (honestly, it couldn’t be more user-friendly).

While the blockchain was still syncing I started to play around with different apps to get to know the UIs, functions, etc.

Everything was working really well. At some point I read that I can change the alias of my lighning node (http://community.umbrel.com/t/how-to-create-a-lightning-node-alias/1252), so I did and restarted the umbrel via UI as explained in the above guide (step 8), still while the blockchain was syncing.

After the restart the lightning terminal app started to give me errors. After some research I was worried that I must have messed up the lnd.conf, so I overwrote it with a default, as explained here (http://community.umbrel.com/t/default-content-lnd-conf-lightning-configuration-file/5929/2). I restarted the umbrel again (still, the blockchain sync was and isn’t finished).

Unfortunately, the errors are still there, so I think the lnd.conf wasn’t causing the problem. My funds are there (except those in the lightning pool account, because the lightning terminal doesn’t wpork), the wallet works, the channels are up, only a few specific functions don’t work (lightning terminal, in RTL the Swap/Boltz).

Those are the logs I think are relevant for my issue:

After reading though the pinned messages in this forum I realize I shouldn’t have messed with the lnd.conf and restarting the umbrel multiple times while it is still syncing. However, in my defense, it’s quite hard to not play around with new hardware and the cool UI / functions umbrel offers :wink:

From my very limited understanding of the logs I would think the error has nothing to do with the fact that the blockchain is still syncing… Any hints for troubleshooting?

Thank you very much !!

I have uploaded the whole logfile to pastebin.

I see that you are a good user that read documentation. That is good.
Now is time for you to learn how to read logs.

 2022-03-24T07:23:29Z UpdateTip: new best=00000000000000000010de23e0541d40e791ebccb969cc9ffee212391a2cc1e0 height=605541 version=0x2000e000 log2_work=91.377738 tx=478418257 date='2019-11-27T03:48:25Z' progress=0.675327 cache=73.9MiB(332416txo)

only this simple line and it says all: progress=0.675327 that means your node have long way until to be 100% synced. if is not synced, LND cannot start.
So be patient.

Yes, my lord, patient I will be.

Many thanks for your quick reply!
