http requests for whitelisted url stopped coming through

Today the http requests stopped working, and I cannot figure out the reason. The same request works fine from localhost, so the issue seem to be somewhere in pythonanywhere.

Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/requests/api.py", line 70, in get

        r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs)
      File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/requests/adapters.py", line 485, in send
        raise ProxyError(e, request=request)
    requests.exceptions.ProxyError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api-xbox-console.worldoftanks.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /wotx/tanks/stats/?app
    lication_id=demo&account_id=248207 (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', timeout('timed out',)))

With the following code:

server = 'xbox'
account_id = 248207
url = 'https://api-{}-console.worldoftanks.com/wotx/tanks/stats/?application_id={}&account_id={}'\
       .format(server, 'demo', account_id)
resp = requests.get(url, timeout=10).json()

Unfortunately this renders my web app useless. Is there any reason for such behavior?

Same problem, Actually no outgoing connection works, be it from python (using http/urllib libraries) or wget or lynx. The webapp I am trying to deploy needs to do some screen scraping and connect to the google API, From Python the error is "OSError: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable"

Hi there,

Sorry about that- we had some problems with the proxy server for our free users (which made it hard to connect to whitelisted external websites). We have fixed that now- please let us know if you are still experiencing any problems!

We will also definitely look into implementing better monitoring/alerting to help us detect such problems earlier.

In your code:

File "/home/diegoami/mysite/flask_formusic.py", line 69, in oauth2callback
2017-07-09 16:57:31,450:     credentials = flow.step2_exchange(auth_code)

Do you know what endpoint this is trying to hit?

If you are a free user and it is trying to hit an endpoint not on the whitelist, you will be blocked.
