panos_Security_rule Module not working when Using a Private IP

Hello Palo Alto Community

I noticed something really interesting when using the panos_security_rule module that I been troubleshooting for a long time without success

For some reason, When I try to configure rules in a Palo Alto VM-500 using the Public IP of the mgmt Interface, it works like a charm configures the rules as expected.

But If I use a private IP(Same palo alto interface just using the private IP), only the panos_security_rules does not work, it just hangs for a while and throws the following error.

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: http.client.RemoteDisconnected: Remote end closed connection without response

Any other playbooks module like for example create_objects, custom_urls, etc. works with the private IP, So I pretty much rule out a network/connectivity/authentication.

According to ChatGPT, it says that it might be a "TypeError" within panos/base.py

Just wondering if there is any ideas about what could be hapenning

These are my settings on the libraries

Collection: paloaltonetworks.panos 2.13.0
Python: 3.8.10
Ansible: core 2.13.7
pan-os-python 1.7.3
pandevice 0.14.0
pan-python 0.17.0

Thanks in Advance!
