QGIS SSL error processing QuickMapServices plugin

Question

When I try to search for a map with the Plug In QMS (QuickMapServices) I get this answer.

Error of processing! SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host=qms.nextgis.com,port=443):Max entries exceeded with url: /api/v1/geoservices?search=google(Caused by SSL Error(SSLError(1, A failure in the SSL library occurred (_ssl.c:1129))))

I already reinstalled the plugin and also installed the new QGIS version.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

such errors are typically related to connectivity issues on a particular machine:

• problems with SSL certificates (misconfiguration via environment parameters, outdated/invalid certificates etc.)
• incorrect/problematic/unset proxy, firewall, VPN settings
• provider issues or blocking of particular IPs
• overly protective antiviruses

Few things to check:

• qms.nextgis.com opens fine in the regular browser on the same machine
• proxy, if present on company network is correctly set in QGIS settings
• try connecting the same machine via different provider (cellphone?) and see if the problem persists
• VPN, if you have any, try to turn it off

Generally, these are not QMS issues and typically should by dealt with by your company admins.
