kite.positions() is failing since I moved to static IP

ashwinjain1

Since I moved to a static IP, I am noticing that the kite.positions() call fails the first time I use it (timeout/ReadTimeoutError). This happens every few minutes. I wrapped it in a try-except block to retry after a delay. The retry is successful. Any specific reason why this might be happening? I check my positions before placing an order. Hence, failure in this part of the code is causing delayed orders, resulting in higher slippages.


```
positions = pd.DataFrame(kite.positions()['net']).set_index('tradingsymbol').loc[tradingSymbol]
