Timeout connecting to Confluent Kafka: -185 error

Good day,

I keep getting a timeout when trying to connect to Confluent Kafka using the credentials supplied by Confluent and using the following structure in the https://github.com/confluentinc/examples/tree/master/clients/cloud/nodejs project:

Example from CLI and client configuration:

bootstrap.servers=
sasl.username=
sasl.password=

Please can you have a look at this issue

Start by reviewing the clients/cloud/nodejs example and the supplied bootstrap.servers, sasl.username, and sasl.password configuration. Reproduce the connection attempt with the Confluent credentials and determine the cause of error -185; done means the example connects without the timeout.
