ru domains Error about dns-domain-expiration-checker

I don't see any problems.
Perhaps the unavailability of .ru domains is due to political reasons. Is access to Russian websites blocked in your country?

While I make the necessary changes to the script code, you can quickly solve this problem (though without any guarantees) using a SOCKS proxy.

The simplest solution might look like this:

1. Update the required Python packages:
   pip install -U python-whois requests[socks] --user

2. Launch Tor Browser (just launch it)

3. Add a line to the script
   os.environ['SOCKS']: str = '127.0.0.1:9150'
   

4. Run the script
   

These actions will route embedded whois traffic through the Tor network. However, some whois servers may block requests from Tor, so keep this in mind.

New version 0.2.25 is available

  -piw URL, --proxy-internal-whois URL
                        Socks-proxy link for internal whois engine only (default is None)
                        for example:
                        user:[email protected]:8080
                        127.0.0.1:9150

Same problem using socks proxy... can this problem be in new python-whois ?
try pip3 install --upgrade python-whois

[ak545]

No. The new python-whois, as you can see in the screenshot, works properly.

If you run the script from under some Linux account, then it’s better to update the packages this way

pip install -U python-whois requests[socks] --user

Pay attention to the --user option
