I have been refreshing data from our 2 SQL servers for months. Recently, refreshes started to fail. However, sometimes they still work after trying a few times. It seems strange to me that it is happening on 2 different SQL servers. I do not have SSL or any extra protection on the SQL servers that I am aware off I updated the on-prem gateway. I have rebooted gateway server, sql servers. Here is the error -
Thoughts on why this could have just quit working (although sometimes it DOES work)?

@djdragius,
Based on my research, the error could be caused by several things, such as .Net Framework, antivirus software and so on. Please perform the following steps and check if the error still occurs.
1. Uninstall .Net Framework and re-install it.
2. Run the following command.
netsh winsock reset
3. Check if any antivirus software runs on your machine.
