"Network is unreachable" error

    Starting yesterday (3/2/2014) at 2:58:54 pm ET, my (free) WordFence automated scans resulted in the above-captioned error.

    The full activity log message was:

    Scan terminated with error: We received an error response when trying to contact the Wordfence scanning servers. The HTTP status code was [0] and the curl error number was [7] and the error from CURL was: Failed to connect to 69.46.36.8: Network is unreachable.

    I tried two manual scans this morning (3/3/2014, at 7:54 am ET and 7:55 am ET, and both resulted in the same error.

    Please advise. Thank you.

    Hi Jeff,

    Sounds like your hosting provider has installed a new firewall that is blocking your server from connecting to external web services. Please log a support call with them and tell them your web server needs to be able to talk to:

    noc1.wordfence.com ports 80 and 443 and
    noc3.wordfence.com port 9050

    Regards,
