I have setup a HIVE MQ cluster as my MQTT Broker  
However, I am having problem establishing a connection.  
The MQTT just hangs at "connecting".

Note, using the PUBLIC HIVE MQTT broker work ok. Its just the HIVE MQ that I am having with.

Can you downgrade your cluster to a single broker and see what happens then?

Finally got it working.  
Did a clean install of:

1. Raspberry OS
2. Re-installed Node JS and Node Red per instructions here:  
[https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi)

So I believe the problem is with node.js version and Node Red versions

I'm glad you resolved your issue, but the "nuke-it-from-space" approach doesn't tell us much about the source of the problem. I realize that it's more work, but some step-by-step troubleshooting could benefit someone with a similar issue in the future who finds your post.
