    I have “Communicating with the WordPress servers” troubles. When i came to admin panel i saw error

    Warning: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums. (WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact your server administrator.) in /srv/www/marker/public_html/wp-includes/update.php on line 388

    When i check “Site Health” i saw `Communicating with the WordPress servers is used to check for new versions, and to both install and update WordPress core, themes or plugins.

    Error Your site is unable to reach WordPress.org at 66.155.40.202, and returned the error: cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 10001 milliseconds`

    I connect with my hosting, they ask me check with WordPress and verify that they are not blocking your IP address?

    Here output mtr command:

    >> WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org <<

    Secure is the keyword here.

    What do you see if you try

    curl -v https://api.wordpress.org

    How come do you know that wordpress is blocking your IP address? Have you tried opening your website using a VPN connection? You can verify your IP address from wimi websites i.e. http://whatismyip.live

    Try asking your hosting support, it seems they block outgoing connections to api.wordpress.org / or all outgoing connections.

    This can be a temporary network problem with your host too.

    Your site SSL certificate does not matter for this issue (its used for incoming connections, not outgoing)

    Dont use hosts for wordpress sites, IPs are subject to change and short TTL is set intentionally, to redirect traffic as fast as possible, in case of network problems etc.

    Glad you found it 🙂
