Hi, i have a Travis CI job that is pulling/cloning a git repo from “[git.haproxy.org](http://git.haproxy.org)”, but unfortunately this isn’t working anymore (i believe since approximately May 12). IP: 51.15.8.218 ASN: 12876 Output Travis CI job: ```auto ping -c 4 git.haproxy.org PING ipv4.haproxy.org (51.15.8.218) 56(84) bytes of data. --- ipv4.haproxy.org ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 3059ms git clone http://git.haproxy.org/git/haproxy-2.1.git/ haproxy Cloning into 'haproxy'... fatal: unable to access 'http://git.haproxy.org/git/haproxy-2.1.git/': Failed to connect to git.haproxy.org port 80: Connection timed out git clone https://git.haproxy.org/git/haproxy-2.1.git/ haproxy Cloning into 'haproxy'... fatal: unable to access 'https://git.haproxy.org/git/haproxy-2.1.git/': Failed to connect to git.haproxy.org port 443: Connection timed out ``` It seems there is some issue or blocking within the travis infrastructure, routing from GCE Cloud (us-east1) or other locations is fine and access to the IP is possible. ---

You’re not alone. We have the same issue since the same date and cannot download anything from `ci.openhab.org` because all connections timeout. I’ve contacted support ([support@travis-ci.com](mailto:support@travis-ci.com)) and now have a support ticket (#18506) for this. It has been open since June 4th. Meanwhile our users are getting [frustrated](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-docker/issues/297) because builds don’t work. I tried debugging this myself yesterday and then my account got flagged for abuse because I somehow triggered the abuse algorythm. 🤯 Yes I can probably make some workaround to get it working… but I might as well put some effort in running my build elsewhere where there is timely support. ---

Good to know that i’m not the only one with this problem. My support ticket is #18757. Created on June 14th, 12 emails exchanged, haven’t heard anything since June 16th. Sad that Travis is unwilling to fix such a simple issue. ---

It might have to do with the IP range being blocked? somewhere: - `git.haproxy.org` IP (51.15.8.218) - `ci.openhab.org` IP (51.15.109.212) It seems to be a Scaleway IP range which was also blocked once in Russia: > **[Important note about the IP Address Ranges blocked by Russia](https://blog.scaleway.com/2018/important-note-about-the-ip-address-ranges-blocked-by-russia/)** > > Dear cloud riders, As of yesterday 5:43PM UTC, two of our IP address ranges have been blocked in Russia. 195.154.0.0/17 51.15.0.0/16 This situation impacts mostly our Russian customers who are unfortunately not able to access some of their... ---

My travis jobs are executed from GCE Cloud VM’s (us-east1). I’ve tested to access the git repo from a normal GCE VM in this region, with absolutely no issue. So it has to be an issue within the travis infrastructure. ---

My builds run on the same VMs. I found some more web servers in the 51.15.x.x address space and Travis CI fails to connect to all of them with this [connect-test.sh](https://github.com/wborn/openhab-docker/blob/d80484060cc082b389c9d9a9c369361ab51f5d84/connect-test.sh) The Travis [build](https://travis-ci.com/github/wborn/openhab-docker/jobs/352260393) shows: ```auto Connecting to: 51.15.8.214 Failed to connect to: 51.15.8.214 Connecting to: 51.15.8.218 Failed to connect to: 51.15.8.218 Connecting to: 51.15.109.212 Failed to connect to: 51.15.109.212 Connecting to: 51.15.231.149 Failed to connect to: 51.15.231.149 Connecting to: 51.15.231.198 Failed to connect to: 51.15.231.198 Connecting to: 51.15.231.224 Failed to connect to: 51.15.231.224 ``` While they all respond when I run the script on my own machine: ```auto Connecting to: 51.15.8.214 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connecting to: 51.15.8.218 HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Connecting to: 51.15.109.212 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connecting to: 51.15.231.149 HTTP/1.1 308 Permanent Redirect Connecting to: 51.15.231.198 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connecting to: 51.15.231.224 HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently ``` So that confirms that the whole IP range is blocked. ☹ Perhaps the [@Travis-CI-Staff](https://travis-ci.community/groups/travis-ci-staff) can have a look? ---

Bump, this hit me today too: [https://travis-ci.org/github/Yelp/synapse-tools/jobs/715507799](https://travis-ci.org/github/Yelp/synapse-tools/jobs/715507799) We have a build that tries to download a source tar from [haproxy.org](http://haproxy.org) Can we please unblock at least 51.15.8.218 ---

Fortunately, after 2 months and more than 20 emails it’s fixed now! ---

Yes my issue/ticket was also finally resolved! 🙂
