    Hi Danny,

    I asked my provider the question:
    “I am currently installing code on my site which relies on the PHP CURL module. Can you please confirm the following things?

    – PHP CURL is installed and updated to at least version 7.35
    – Requests to https://*.api.mailchimp.com/ are not blocked”

    This is the response I’ve got:
    “Our hostingprovider enables CURL access only for whitelisted source servers, such as update and licensing servers.

    Please provide us with the IP address of your server which has to be contacted by this theme. We will forward that IP to our host, so they can whitelist your service for all clients.”

    Is it possible to get the IP adress?

    Thanks in advance,

    Joshua

    Hi Joshua,

    Yes, to get the IP address of your MailChimp server you can run the following command from your command-line prompt or terminal.

    ping us1.api.mailchimp.com

    The first 3 characters “us1” should match the last few characters of your API key, everything after the dash. So if your API key ends in “xxxx-us5” then you should enter the following command in your terminal.

    ping us5.api.mailchimp.com

    The result should read something like this:

    ping us11.api.mailchimp.com
PING e9174.x.akamaiedge.net (95.100.134.62): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 95.100.134.62: icmp_seq=0 ttl=58 time=11.385 ms

    The last line states the IP address of your API server.

    Hope that helps. If not, let me know!
