Another curl 7 error

    Hosting site is through AT Space. I am new at this so not sure where to look to fix this. I have read through some of the similar curl 7 errors but they don’t really explain to me where to look so I can solve this or if there is something specific I am supposed to tell the hosting site. Some of the information appears to be for linux or is written in php. I am a bit rusty in both. Anyhow, I just set up wordpress and I am getting this error:

    Connecting to Wordfence servers (http)
    wp_remote_post() test to noc1.wordfence.com failed! Response was: cURL error 7: Failed to connect to noc1.wordfence.com port 80: Connection refused
    Connecting to Wordfence servers (https)
    wp_remote_post() test to noc1.wordfence.com failed! Response was: cURL error 7: Failed to connect to noc1.wordfence.com port 443: Connection refused

    Please help or point me in the right direction. Thank you.

    Hi @tklambott, thanks for getting in touch.

    This error could mean that the host has a local DNS server that’s caching a long-expired IP for our “noc1” server.

    If you have a shell on the server, you can try running curl -v https://noc1.wordfence.com/ and send us the output. This may show if your server’s resolver is getting the wrong IP. If you can’t run it on the server yourself, you could ask your host to try it on your behalf.

    Let me know what you find out!

    Peter.

    Thank you for responding. I sent a message to my hosting service and they made some changes and it is now working. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
