httpx.ConnectError

I get the following error when running ghunt gaia [TARGET GAIA ID] from the terminal, any ideas of what the problem might be?

I've tried using GHunt as a lib instead of calling from the terminal and using the following code, based on get_people_name.py from the examples, the script runs as expected with params_template="just_name" but runs into basically the same error as above with params_template="max_details", so I assume it's an issue with ssl when we're making concurrent calls? Still I am not sure where to look to fix this...

Here's the code based on get_people_name.py

import httpx
import trio

from ghunt.apis.peoplepa import PeoplePaHttp
from ghunt.objects.base import GHuntCreds

gaia = "[TARGET GAIA ID]"

async def get_details_from_gaia(gaia):
	# This object stores all the needed credentials that GHunt uses
	ghunt_creds = GHuntCreds()
	# Check creds (but it doesn't crash if they are invalid)
	ghunt_creds.load_creds()

	# Async clientb
	as_client = httpx.AsyncClient()

	# Get the GHunt people api
	people_api = PeoplePaHttp(ghunt_creds)
	found, person = await people_api.people(as_client, gaia, params_template="max_details")

	print("Found:", found)
	if found:
		# A specification of People API, there are different containers
		# A target may not exists globally, but only in your contacts,
		# so it will show you only the CONTACT container,
		# with the informations you submitted.
		# What we want here is the PROFILE container, with public infos.
		if "PROFILE" in person.names:
			print("Name:", person.names["PROFILE"].fullname)
		else:
			print("Not existing globally.")

# Running our async code in a non-async code
trio.run(get_details_from_gaia, gaia)

As a fix, I am currently bypassing the SSL verification with verify=False when instantiating the client in as_client = httpx.AsyncClient(), but I am not sure if that's the right permanent solution

Hi, the problem is related to your environment. Maybe you have a proxy, VPN, or anything else ?

Perhaps also on a restricted network, such as a public WiFi, job/school/university, or anything else.

The error comes from SSL not being verified, so its a client side issue from what I am aware.
