javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Handshake failed

[IgorGanapolsky]

Hi,
I am trying to make a GET request to an HTTPS server (over VPN). I followed the guidelines described in this issue: #1628. However, it's keeps giving me an error:

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Handshake failed

I am using Retrofit 2.0.0-beta2 in my Android application for this networking code. Please advise.

Thank you,
Igor

Try to connect to your https endpoint via browser/another_http_client through the VPN, there are high chances that VPN is the reason of your problems.

No, VPN is not the problem. Connected to VPN, I am able to hit this
server through the browser on Android. I just can't hit it in my app.

ok, is it reachable via OkHttp without VPN? If not — (why you mentioned that you're doing it over VPN…) it may be a problem of https configuration on the backend so you can contact their support with this issue.

My point is that VPN is necessary to hit this particular server. And I can
reach it through the browser. But not through the app on the phone. Both

• my computer and Android phone - have VPN configs set up. Makes sense?

Could you provide a test case to demonstrate the problem?

[IgorGanapolsky]

What's the best way to simulate VPN and a TLS server in a test case? I
cannot reveal my company's server details - obviously.

@IgorGanapolsky sounds like a duplicate of a bug we're already tracking.
