 * Hello,
 * I have encountered the following error on three Wordfence installations that 
   were previously working correctly:
 * Scan failed: wp_remote_post() test to noc1.wordfence.com failed! Response was:
   cURL error 7: Failed to connect to noc1.wordfence.com port 443 after 3006 ms:
   Could not connect to server.
 * I have followed all the recommended troubleshooting steps and contacted my ISP
   to check for any communication blocks. Since the issue persists, I would like
   to ask if you have any suggestions on how to resolve this problem. Could you 
   confirm if my IP address might be blocked on your servers?
 * Thank you in advance for your support.
 * Best regards
 * PS. – I have sent the diagnostic report. Thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwordfence-connection-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@jvcoutinho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jvcoutinho/),
 * Thank you for reaching out! Please check with your host to ensure they’re not
   blocking outbound connections to noc1.wordfence.com.
 * If you have a shell on the server, they can try running `curl -v https://noc1.
   wordfence.com/` and send us the output. It’s not a perfect test since it’s not
   within PHP, but it may show if the server’s resolver is getting the wrong IP.
 * If you can’t run it on the server, please ask your host to try it and send us
   the output. You can email the output to **wftest @ wordfence . com** if you don’t
   want to send that on the forums. Please use your forum username as the subject
   and let me know here once you’ve sent that!
 * Thanks,
   Margaret

 * Thanks.
