<p>I've downloaded the LiteCoin Core for the Mac (High Sierra 10.13.3) in order to use the testnet for testing an online shopping cart. I'm not looking to mine any coins, just use the wallet. The application loads up correctly when connecting to the normal wallet, but when I add <code>testnet=1</code> to the litecoin.conf, it won't connect to the peers. When I look at the debug log, I see </p>

One possibility is you are using an older version of litecoind which is trying to get testnet3 instead of testnet4.

If this is the case, updating to the latest version should solve it.
