Bitcoin Core having issues connecting to peers

I am new to Bitcoin.

I’ve been trying to host a full node on my Mac. I just installed Bitcoin Core and it seems my node can’t connect to any peers while syncing. I have been checking the debug.log file regularly and it has been regularly giving me the message “Potential old tip detected. Attempting to use additional outbound peers” every 10 minutes or so and this has been going on for 3-4 hours. I checked online and it says there is some firewall issue and that my internet connection may be preventing me from connecting to port 8333. I checked my firewall settings and the port is not blocked. Here is my debug.log file:
