That’s a good tip. If I can’t make any sort of connection to wordpress.com then changing from HTTP to HTTPS isn’t going to make a difference though. * Thread Starter [Stevie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeronemo/) * (@jeronemo) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register_http_request_failed-35/#post-6902414) * Ping has nothing to do with http requests, it’s completely different protocols. * [Ross Wintle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magicroundabout/) * (@magicroundabout) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register_http_request_failed-35/#post-6902418) * Correct. It’s ICMP. Which could be specifically blocked. But I wouldn’t be trying to ping and traceroute it if HTTP was working. A manual HTTP to port 80 times out too. The ping and traceroute were diagnostic attempts. * Thread Starter [Stevie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeronemo/) * (@jeronemo) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register_http_request_failed-35/#post-6902420) * Have you tried nslookup on a different DNS like Google DNS (8.8.8.8)? * [Ross Wintle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magicroundabout/) * (@magicroundabout) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register_http_request_failed-35/#post-6902421) * I’m getting the same IP(s) on my DO droplet as I’m getting in other places. My DO droplet is already using Google’s DNS. DNS resolution is fine * Thread Starter [Stevie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeronemo/) * (@jeronemo) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/register_http_request_failed-35/#post-6902435) * Yuhuuu!
