Hello @freeAppProd

Thank you for the heads up. I just released a new version, please, let me know if you are able to update via pip and try again. Let me know if the error persists.

In the code, I'm forcing the unverified context

    ssl_context = ssl._create_unverified_context()
...
    service_instance = connect.SmartConnect(host=server, user=username, \
         pwd=password, port=443, sslContext=ssl_context)

And I also tried using the FQDN and IP address as well, both worked.

Thank you again and sorry for the delay.

Hello @freeAppProd

Reading the issue once again

 ConnectionResetError: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer

Does the machine that you are trying to connect to the vCenter, by any chance hve some rules/firewall? This could also be the root cause.

Thank you!
