[Moscato]

I have a fairly new xenforo 1.4.4 installation

I keep getting this error

What do I do?

Do you have any outgoing connections in your server firewall blocked?

 

[Moscato]

I flushed my iptables entirely, no rules.

Still having the same error.
A note: I'm behind cloudflare, not that it really should matter.

I also tried it with our firewall entirely disabled.

I realized I'm also getting similar errors with google recaptcha.

If you try a wget from the server to www.google.com does that work?

This is definitely related to the underlying network stack so XF doesn't really have any directly influence over it.

Wget failed

I tracked it down

Our host uses dhcpcd to assign IP addresses, and the linux image they gave us had slaac private set by default, which made ipv6 requests fail on their network
All of the failed requests we were having were over ipv6

Thanks for helping
All good now
