stratnum failed to connect error

[ThatOneDev-Code]

so i have cpuminer on a rpi4(just for fun to what i could make) and when i go to use akiapool or any other pool i just get this same error
[2021-02-28 04:30:38] Stratum connection failed: Failed to connect to stratum.aikapool.com port 7915: Connection refused
[2021-02-28 04:30:38] ...retry after 10 seconds
[2021-02-28 04:30:38] 6 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.

i ran it with this cmd

./cpuminer -a scrypt -t 6 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.aikapool.com:7915 -u <UserName.Worker> -p

please help! thanks!

the pool might be down or your ISP might be blocking your connection the command syntax seems correct but the line saying "Connection refused" is a give away that this is a network issue.

ok, so how do you recommend i fix this? im assuming it has something to do with either mine or the rpi's firewall?

you could try running it through a proxy but its likely either a pool issue or your ISP blocking access.
