A common practice is to use a seed to connect to the network.
You can add our seed node in seeds in your config.toml file:
b85358e035343a3b15e77e1102857dcdaf70053b@seeds.bluestake.net:21956Community seed nodes
If you would like to add additional seeds, here are some provided by the community:

If you have trouble finding peers, you can add these 5 random peers as persistent_peers in your config.toml file:
