Socket Error - Connect Error

[General-7125]

Hi there,

I keep getting the below:

I have tried to connect to port 443 and 80 in case it is a firewall issue but nothing works.

If I use XMR STAK CPU miner and connect to the same pool, I have no issues. It connects and starts to mine.

I have just started to get into mining and I am testing the waters so only using an AMD E2 8GB 2TB Desktop PC with AMD Radeon HD r2.

Any help please!

please post the file config.txt

I had this same issue, changed use_tls to 'true' and connected okay.
