Python script is failing with ('Connection aborted.', ConnectionResetError(104, 'Connection reset by peer'))

Question

I've similar issue as many of you but cannot get this resolve. I'm producing a self-executable file that is running fine on my VirtualBox Linux 7.3 and 7.9 but when I'm trying to run it somewhere else (on other Linux servers) I'm getting the below output:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 706, in urlopen

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

My post constructor looks like:

resp = requests.post(endpoint_uri, headers=headers, data = json.dumps(data))

Could you pls advise me where exactly I need to look for it? Is there multiple issues that I'm struggling with? Many thanks, Mario

In the end, the issue was caused by firewall settings.
