cURL error 28: Operation timed out
-
Hello,
my server load told me that my site is under attack 😉
So I went ahead and gave it the Wordfence treatment. However, the diagnostics tell me that cURL fails.I did auto-update WordPress, and I did install Wordfence using the install plugins UI. So there is not a connection problem per se.
I also googled. Google said, I can verify a working connection by running this:
telnet noc1.wordfence.com 443
telnet noc1.wordfence.com 80In both cases, it connects just fine and when I “quit”, I get a Bad Request HTML response which is to be expected.
The issue is displayed in the Connectivity tab under “Connecting back to this site”:
wp_remote_post() test back to this server failed! Response was: cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10000 milliseconds with 0 bytes receivedcURL is working. On the server, and apparently also in PHP (because I did upgrade it with that one-click-mechanism)
root@dragonserver:/etc/network/interfaces.d# curl https://noc1.wordfence.com {"errorMsg":"Wordfence API error: Your site did not send an API key when contacting the Wordfence servers."} root@dragonserver:/etc/network/interfaces.d#
I’m running a pretty vanilla Debian 9.8. PHP is provided by FPM running on top of Apache with FastCGI.
What can I do to fix this? 🙂
Thank you!
Alduin
