I started getting that same error on some of my linux desktops a few days ago. I tracked it down to a mozilla-nss update that seems to have broken pidgin SSL connections to OpenFire XMPP server.
We're using pidgin-2.10.10 but recompiling 2.10.11 from source still has the problem. Forcing pidgin to use gnutls library instead is a workaround. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Maher" <daniel.gwyn.ma...@gmail.com> To: support@pidgin.im Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2015 1:27:13 PM Subject: Pidgin: SSL Handshake Failed Hi, I've recently downloaded Tails 1.4.1, and whenever I try to connect to the Tails chat ' c3...@irc.oftc.net ' I get the message SSL Handshake Failed, or ERROR: Closing Link (No more connections permitted from your host).
