fw Server Log window "Non-Fatal Error SSL ... error. wrong version number"

Modified on Wed, 29 May, 2024 at 12:03 PM

This "Non-Fatal Error SSL channel "sock..." error. wrong version number" happens, when old not supportable farmerswife (fw) Client applications try to log-in to a fw Server running on v6.4 or later:

This will happen if the fw Server is on v6.4 or later versions v6.5 or v6.6, etc. and the fw Client desktop application is running on a lower or no-longer "auto-upgrade" supported version.


Solution: 

You will need to figure out which user is trying to connect from which machine which has an old, below version ... and not yet have a manually upgraded fw Client application installed.


Here the link to the installers files on our website: Public Installers


This can also be the result of fw Server app Ports being open and exposed to the internet. And these “Non-Fatal Error” messages are the result of potentially malicious connection attempts, which get deflected from the fw Server app.
