hi, I have an error connecting my project since this morning,
the error I get: Connecting to blynk-cloud.com:443

how can i solve ???

Should be fixed now, according to this…

Is there problems on the blynk server?

Dear Sirs, the last two days I observed many blynk server short disconnections or short server unavailability I access it from Greece. Do you have the same experience? Any way to improve? Is that linked with the forthcoming new blynk introduction? Thanks and Best Regards, Mike Kranidis

Hello unfortunately it has not been solved I always get the same error …

[PeteKnight]

The guys at Blynk have now said that it’d not possible to resolve the problem, so SSL connection to the cloud servers is no longer possible.

You need to switch to a non-SSL connection…

ESP8266 SSL connections down using Blynk_WiFiManager (ESP32 works fine, non-SSL 8266 works fine)

Hey everyone. Unfortunately that’s the only cure for this issue. We’re sincerely sorry for this, but due to some technical limitations, as well as the fact that we’re fully focused on the New Blynk Platform release, we’re not going to fix this particular issue. Ideally, we’d have to move all certificates to Let’sEncrypt, instead of self-signed certificates. But due to technical reasons, we cannot perform such migration (it would impact a much broader audience, make even more devices unusable…

hi, thanks for the reply
how can i switch to a non ssl connection?

[PeteKnight]

It depends on your hardware and which programming language you are using.

esp8266
c/c++ arduino

Change…
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266_SSL.h>
to
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>

and if your Blynk.begin or Blynk.config command specifies port 443 then change it to 8080
