Error: WebSocket connection failed for host: wss://relay.walletconnect.org

[Quadrizzz]

I am using web3 modal on my react app which uses wallet connect, it was working previously but now when I try to connect to the app I get an error this error in my browser console "Error: WebSocket connection failed for host: wss://relay.walletconnect.org", I did some research and someone mentioned that it might be because of a missing project id but my project id is in the code so I can't seem to find what is wrong with it. I will appreciate any help I can get.

SDK Version (if relevant) Js v2

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to https://react-wallet.walletconnect.com/
2. you can also check here by clicking connect wallet https://web3modal.com/
3. Just on page load you will get an alert of the same error

Expected behavior It should load the walletconnect modal but that is not happening

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Browser edge

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: iPhone 11
• OS: iOS 16.3.1
• Browser: Safari, Chrome

try using a vpn to change your location and try again.

It’s an app for different users, I am not sure it will be sustainable to tell users to use a vpn if they want to use the all.

update your packages, Wagmi core, connector

Does location matter much? I got a lot of same situation when i try to request signing on iOS mobile browsers, but i was no matter when i have tried on android mobile.

[Quadrizzz]

I think location is an issue here because when a VPN is used it works fine and this issue is not just on my app, when I tried using the web3modal website also, I got the same issue, the qrcode for walletconnect was not opening.

Some of my users are receiving this error too....Big part of the user base connecting from Nigeria. We need a solution for that :(

[Fearless09]

I am experiencing the same error too but when I use a VPN, it works fine. Please is there a way to resolve this error without VPN??

[ConfidenceYobo]

I am also having this issue. Everything was working fine before but suddenly stopped working. Now when I open my local development project on the browser I get this error message immediately the page loads ERROR WebSocket connection failed for host: wss://relay.walletconnect.org at f.emitError (http://localhost:3000/static/js/bundle.js:37767:31) at i.onerror (http://localhost:3000/static/js/bundle.js:37735:16).

Then if you try to connect with trustwallet or walletconnect you get a popup message that says "declined". I think the trust wallet shouldn't use walletconnect API but rather injector or trustwallet extension if it exists.

[yucheng-Li]

Change version "@walletconnect/react-native-compat" version 2.9.0 -> 2.11.0, to do this it will not breaking your whole app. By the way connection failed for host: wss://relay.walletconnect.org in China, work fine by use VPN. So you can try to change @walletconnect/react-native-compat version to make the app work fine.

[glitch-txs]

This should be fixed now, please reopen the issue if the issue persists on the latest version.

[javamonn]

@glitch-txs can you point me to the specific package / version that includes this fix? walletconnect libs tend to be transitive deps, so trying to figure out what exactly needs to get updated

[nop33]

I am using "@walletconnect/react-native-compat": "2.13.3" and I still get these errors:

WebSocket connection failed for host: wss://relay.walletconnect.org

[Quadrizzz]

I can’t even access the walletconnect website anymore in my country, it doesn’t load at all, I can’t use walletconnect on any Dapp

I noticed the issue happens randomly. It was working fine yesterday in Nigeria and for some reason stopped meanwhile people in the US can use it.

[naixx]

It is not fixed at all. Excellent support

[josenriagu]

What fixed it for me:

Enable DNS over HTTPS on all browsers

You can check here for details: https://www.ghacks.net/2021/10/23/how-to-enable-dns-over-https-secure-dns-in-chrome-brave-edge-firefox-and-other-browsers/

You can also set up a private secure DND on the OS level, check the doc here (select your platform/OS): https://one.one.one.one/dns/

And finally, test out your connection by visiting on your browser https://one.one.one.one/help/
