E SSL_connect(): socket closed by peer [SOLVED]

Solved
1

Hello,

I have a MacBook Pro and an android phone and I have been trying to use blynk to control an arduino project over serial usb. I follow all directions found here

http://docs.blynk.cc/#hardware-set-ups-arduino-over-usb-no-shield

but when I type my serial port into terminal it connects but then it immediately says “socket closed by peer”.

Jeffrey-Thogmartins-MacBook-Pro:~ jeffthogmartin$ cd /Users/jeffthogmartin/Documents/Arduino/libraries/Blynk/scripts
Jeffrey-Thogmartins-MacBook-Pro:scripts jeffthogmartin$ ./blynk-ser.sh -c /dev/cu.usbmodem411 -b 9600 -s blynk-cloud.com -p 8442

Can anyone help? I am in a little over my head with this but I have been trying desperately to get it to work. I have tried googling what socket closed by peer means and trying all the fixes for that but nothing is seeming to work. I feel like a firewall or something may be blocking the connection to the server, so i turned my firewall off and it still didn’t work. I don’t know If my guesses are even close to being the actual problem. Please Help!!! and Thank you in advance.

Did you enter your Blynk token in the Arduino sketch?

From a web browser what do you get if you enter your token in this url

http://blynk-cloud.com/YOUR_TOKEN_HERE/project

Looks like you are attempting an SSL connection on the wrong port.

TCP 8442
SSL 8441

A search of your error found this older but possibly still relevant solution…

Costas,

This is what the page shows when I type in that url…

Restarted the computer and it worked! Weird…

Did you install socat and forget to reboot?

ummm yes i guess so! Haha… thanks for your help!
