Socket connection closed remotely by pool

There could be different reasons why your socket connection was closed by pool. We will list the most common ones.

Check:

• If you have correct ports opened on the router;
• If your internet is working as it should;
• If it works by connecting directly with the internet cable instead of WiFi;
• If your router isn't blocking the pool you are using;
• If your ISP (firewall) isn't blocking the pool you are using.

Check:

• If the port you are connecting to is correct;
• If you mistyped the pool's stratum address;
• If the pool is down for everyone or only for you;
• If your mining client requires special parameter in the configuration that manages the pool connection (e.g., -esm parameter in Claymore ETH miner);
• If your configuration is correct (you entered correct algorithm parameter).
