Working great for a ffew hours or minutes until I got this error about dankmemer-farmer HOT 6 CLOSED

it basically works from 2-8 hours and then gives me that error

from dankmemer-farmer.

In the first error shown, you can see sslv3 alert handshake failure

then the last error, same thing, but it triggered Max retries exceeded with URL too

because it couldn't fix the handshake failure.

SSL Handshake: used to authenticate data transfers between servers and external systems such as browsers.
I also noticed a kind of reconnection after some hours passed but no SSL error showed. My conclusion that is your SSL Handshake failure was caused by external parties, not from the bot itself, maybe your connection, etc.

You can disable requests verification to resolve it but that wouldn't be secure. by passing the parameterverify=False in SlashCommands.py in every request. use Search & Replace. It would do it automatically without adding it manually.

Replace every line that has this:

req = requests.post('https://discord.com/api/v9/interactions', headers={"authorization": token}, json=payload)

With:

req = requests.post('https://discord.com/api/v9/interactions', verify=False , headers={"authorization": token}, json=payload)

And add those two lines in init.py or bot.py. It doesn't matter, but they should be added to the top lines.

import urllib3
urllib3.disable_warnings()

I want to ask, does a VPN
affect this error?

from dankmemer-farmer.

also the reconnection was me starting the bot again

from dankmemer-farmer.

VPN does affect the connection, especially with SSL handshake failures.

And i meant I did experience some reconnections after some hours passes. but no SSL handhake failure happened

ok that makes sense, thanks for your help
