Since several days I'm getting this error with my Laravel 5.1 project:

Some ideas?

I'm also started facing similar kind of issue. But with name lookup timeout.

Hi @sehgal10. I am facing your issue. How did you solve it.

[herzzanu]

@divostar I get the same error in my development environment but when deployed in production it works. It worth mentioning the website I use it on is served through HTTPS.

[rohankhudedev]

I am getting this error because my server is behind the proxy.

[rohankhudedev]

I fixed this by setting proxy in configuration file

1. Publish vendor

   php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Anhskohbo\NoCaptcha\NoCaptchaServiceProvider"

2. Add proxy as option

   'options' => [
       'timeout' => 30,
       'proxy'   => 'http://User:encodedPassword@Host:Port'
   ],
