I’m trying to scrape a site using Puppeteer, and while everything works fine on my local machine, I encounter SSL-related issues when I try to run the script on my server. I’ve tried several suggested solutions but haven’t found one that resolves the issue.
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
Downgraded Puppeteer to various older versions, as well as tried the latest version.
Tested Node versions: I’m currently using Node v20.17 and Puppeteer v23.3.0.
Verified the issue using curl -v , which shows the connection stalls after resolving the host but times out while connecting.
Here’s the curl output:
* Host registration.ec.ap.gov.in:443 was resolved.
* IPv6: (none)
* IPv4: 103.129.75.144
* Trying 103.129.75.144:443...
* Failed to connect to registration.ec.ap.gov.in port 443: Connection timed out
I’ve tried all the typical fixes for SSL issues, such as ignoring certificate errors in Puppeteer and experimenting with different Puppeteer and Node.js versions. However, the issue persists only on the server.
Does anyone know how to resolve or work around SSL-related issues specifically for Puppeteer on a server, or could you suggest any alternative solutions?
