How to use twint if there are some firewalls? #568

Question

How to use twint if there is a firewall?

Initial Check

There is a firewall in my country, I need to set up a proxy, but I don't know how to operate, is there a detailed case? Thank you.

wangyun1996 commented 4 years ago

If I use a VPN software, and I do not set the proxy in twint, then when I tried to run it, there is something wrong.

The note is: aiohttp.client_exceptions.ClientConnectorError: Cannot connect to host twitter.com:443 ssl:False [Connect call failed ('75.126.115.192', 443)]

If you need to use a VPN, you have just to activate it and run twint as usual

That error means that Twitter is blocking your connection, probably due to VPN

Thanks, I'll try it again with another VPN Thanks again, sincerely.
