Hello, I connected my esp8266 to my wifi network successfuly, but I can’t connect to Hive mq cloud mqtt broker. on my serial port it says that
Attempting MQTT connection…failed, rc=-4 try again in 5 seconds
Attempting MQTT connection…failed, rc=-4 try again in 5 seconds
and so on…

I use HiveMQ free cloud mqtt broker
In my HiveMQ console I got port 8883 (TLS ), and the url which I put on my node-red node mqtt-broker-node in server attribute and the port 8883 and clicked “Use TLS” and in the Secruity label I enter username and password and I put in on my esp’s code.
I got this on my hive mq console:
Hostname: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Port (TLS): 8883
Port (Websocket + TLS): 8884
