connect ETIMEDOUT when using API key integration

[yibuxulong]

I enjoyed vscode-chatgpt for a week, but since March. 1st, I met a connection problem once I ask questions, there return:
request to https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 199.59.149.205:443
and in the https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions, I found:
{ "error": { "message": "You didn't provide an API key. You need to provide your API key in an Authorization header using Bearer auth (i.e. Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY), or as the password field (with blank username) if you're accessing the API from your browser and are prompted for a username and password. You can obtain an API key from https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.", "type": "invalid_request_error", "param": null, "code": null } }

but I had provided an API key:

I have tried to uninstall vscode-chatgpt and re-install it many times, and applied new API codes, reopen the vscode, but none of them helped.

Could anybody give me some advice?

@yibuxulong thank you for using the extension. Could you try resetting your session ChatGPT: Reset session?

2nd troubleshooting:

Please place the same api token in the following CURL command (replace $OPENAI_API_KEY) and see if you get a proper response:

  curl https://api.openai.com/v1/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
    -d '{
    "model": "text-davinci-003",
    "prompt": "Can I make a request?\n\n",
    "temperature": 0.7,
    "max_tokens": 256,
    "top_p": 1,
    "frequency_penalty": 0,
    "presence_penalty": 0
  }'

thanks for your replying! @gencay
I found out that may be because the chatgpt is also locked to the Chinese port in the API as that in the website, which was not the case a week ago. I have restored normal use by switching the port. I hope it can help other users.
Thank you again for your work and time.

@gencay @yibuxulong How to solve it

[yibuxulong]

@laterdayi Switching system proxy with VPN worked for me.

hello, i get a ECONNRESET if not vpn, but using vpn will return Client network socket disconnected before secure TLS connection was established, what could i do?

---

ok, i deal with it... if someone has the same problem, then go on:

as we know, if you are in china mainland or somewhere, the openai api could be visited some days before, and i used this extension well. but recently the api is blocked by GFW, if use it directly will return somthing like request to https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 157.240.12.35:443

at first i just switched on my clash, but that didn't work, then i uninstall this extension and reinstall, delete the api-key, turn off and on my vpn, close and open vscode, and fill the api-key in a session, and it can output somehow...

i have to admit i don't know why it can't or can work before and after...

if you have a proxy serve, you can set genieai.openai.apiBaseUrl: http://xxx in setting.json.
