@imres,

Could you try to restart your computer to make sure that the executing algod binary is truly the latest and greatest ? If that doesn’t help, and you’ve verified using algod -v that you’re running 2.3.0+, could you please post the config.json file you’re using ?

Last, whenever the catchup service is not making a progress, it would log detailed information to the node.log file. Could you look in there to see if there is any apparent reason ? ( i.e. maybe an error / warning log message ? )

2.3.0.stable [rel/stable] (commit #07bc97b7)

there is no config.json file only config.json.example

could it be because my participation key was set in the range which is not applicable now?

  1. Your participation key should not affect the node catching up in any way.
  2. The config.json.example is just a “template” for the config.json, containing the default values.

Is there any hint for the issue in the node.log file ?
What type of internet connection do you have? In particular, do you have any firewall / dns restrictions / etc ?

I am using VPN

it seems the telemetry does not work, though it is enabled

The telemetry, regardless if it’s working or not, would not affect the catchup.

Do you have the ability to connect your MacBook to a different network, just so that we could remove the network as a potential cause ? If not, the only thing I think could help is if you would share your node.log file…

OK, I have disabled VPN … started to sync and turned VPN back … and now works

sorry for bothering … I should have tried before
