Hi @majidmc2 , checks if the openvas-manager service is listening on host 127.0.0.1 and port 9390 with the command
netstat -ant | grep 9390

If not, you can set the host and port to listen to with the command
openvasmd -p listen_port -a listen_address

or modify the conf file openvas-manager in /etc/default and restart the service.

Then, if you changes the OMP port or/and the OMP host, you can pass the new port or/and the new host on VulnscanManager object like

scanner = VulnscanManager(host="omp_listen_address", port=omp_listen_port, user="username", password="password")
