I am running two nodes, an umbrel and a mynode.

Just reinstalled umbrel to run knots. On the umbrel one peer connections are often whereas on mynode are usually very high( 17 on average). Both nodes are on the same network.

What can I do to ensure I have enough incoming peer connections on umbrel?
