Hi @Radhika1,

I'm following up with the team to confirm the state of the maven link you have provided. I'll keep you posted.

Hi all,

I've had an update from the team that there was a 403 issue impacting some of our artifact locations. The fix has now been applied. Please check again and let us know if your issue persists.

If the issue persists please provide:

1. The command you are running or URL of the artifact you are trying to access.
2. The IP location you are attempting to access the artefact from in the ipinfo format presented in the root of this topic.

Hope that helps!

Sorry for the delay, wow it's working for us from this morning, next time I will get the IPs but we tried with multiple ways, web sites, curl and Chocolatey.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Hi @cold_twilight,

There was a 403 issue yesterday that has now been resolved that is different to distinct IP blocks. Can you check and confirm if you're still having issues, and if so which artefact URL or command you are receiving the error on?

Thanks!

Hi @Seryozha2410,

Are you still having issues? I've checked out the ASN that your IP belongs to and it looks to be connected with a country that we cannot unblock, although your IP location is fine. Are you able to try downloading from another IP?

Hope that helps!

Hi @msokolov,

Welcome to the community! Thanks for your message. Looking at your [IP](https://ipinfo.io/34.120.127.130) and [ASN info](https://ipinfo.io/AS396982) I see you're based in the US and using a Google LLC hosted IP. I've had a look at our config and I believe your ASN is already allowed under our rules.

We have seen issues with blocking on the Google CDN related to IPv6 being enabled before [as covered in the further update in the root of this topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/are-you-getting-403s-when-downloading-please-read-here-first/307340). Before I follow up with the team, can you check:

1. If you have IPv6 enabled? If so can you disable IPv6.
2. Are you able to install a more current version of the artefact successfully? It looks like you're trying to download an older version (5.x), which is post EOL.

If neither of the above resolve your issue please send on the precise command you are executing and a trace using the steps in [this topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/are-you-getting-403s-when-downloading-please-read-here-first/307340/260).

Hope that helps!

Hello,

IPv6 is enabled, however unused. Same issue without it. It seems that we used EOL version indeed, however we cannot use a newer one as the server seems blacklisted also.  
I provide further information here:

Hi @msokolov,

As mentioned before, it looks like your ASN is covered under our rules. Are you still receiving the same issue downloading v8.x? v6.x is still EOL.

Can you send the --trace output as well please?

Hi @Dzianis_Malets,

Welcome! Thanks for raising your issue. I see your IP is part of AS24940, which I've received word from the team before that it is already allowed.

Can you check that you meet the Hertzner prerequisites for Elasticsearch as covered [here](https://docs.hetzner.com/konsoleh/server-management/faq/installation-of-common-software/#elasticsearch) in their support documentation? If you have been granted `hos-dev` by their support already please send me the tracing details [as per this post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/are-you-getting-403s-when-downloading-please-read-here-first/307340/260).
