Hi @jconnary,

Welcome! Thanks for sharing your details. Can you confirm which Elastic artefact you are unable to download/ command you are running that is generating the 403?

Hi Carly,

Well, it's not related to a specific integration and maybe this is the wrong thread, but I came across it whilst searching for a solution. I have a new installation that I'm trying to get working. So far it seems ok, but when I go the Add Integrations page, it never fully loads. I just get the spinning icon and all of the placeholders for integrations are just grey boxes. Here is a screenshot:

Sorry if my problem is not related to this. Just let me know and I'll open my own post.

Cheers,  
Jeff

Ok @jconnary, thanks for sharing. This might not be a forbidden issue. Can you share the output of the browser DevTools console and network calls?

If the network calls are showing 403 responses it could be the IP needs to be unblocked. Otherwise it's a different issue

Let us know!

Thanks for the response @carly.richmond. Do you mean 403's like this:

Exactly @jconnary! That's what I need. I'll raise a request with the internal team with the details and revert back with an update when I can.

Just a note that it can time some time for the requests to be actioned.

Hope the helps!

Hi @Damien_Gustave,

Welcome! I assume you are trying to download an asset via wget, and potentially an older asset? Can you confirm which asset you are trying to download and if you are able to download a more recent version of an asset such as [Elasticsearch 8.17](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/targz.html)?

I'm not able to access the above resource either so I want to confirm first.

Let us know!

I am trying to access the debian repository of the 6.x version.

I tried with a wget directly. What interesting is that it is working directly on the machine. But I want to download the artifact from a virtual machine.

So, directly from the host machine it does work:

```auto
damien@tools-2:~/vm-setup/vagrant-base-box$ curl ipinfo.io
{
  "ip": "51.159.222.46",

```

But for a virtual machine it does not (obviously the ip info is the same):

```auto
vagrant@vm:~$ curl ipinfo.io
{
  "ip": "51.159.222.46",
  "hostname": "2687956d-2b13-465a-8afd-4b6ff2963671.fr-par-2.baremetal.scw.cloud",

```

One time it even breaks in the middle:

```

Finally, the virtual machine itself works fine since I can download everything but your artifacts.

I don't know what filter you use but it's not only the source IP.

Thanks for confirming @Damien_Gustave. Elastic v6.x is a pretty old version that is past EOL. We would recommend using a more recent version if possible.

It's interesting that downloads work fine on the box but not the virtual machine. Does your virtual machine configuration have IPv6 enabled? If so I would recommend disabling that and trying again.

Let us know!

Yes, I know this is an very old version, for now we have ne resource internally to do the switch.

I have no ipv6 on the VM, but I do on the host

VM:

```auto

       valid_lft 355sec preferred_lft 355sec

```

Host:

```auto

    link/ether 44:a8:42:09:5f:46 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

```

The behaviour is very erratic, as, in a 30 second window, I was able to download the file once, then a 403, and right after, a success:

Thanks for sharing @Damien_Gustave. It looks like you've now been able to download the install from your latest message. If not, I would recommend trying to disable IPv6 on the host.

Hope that helps!

Well, that don't resolve the issue since this process run within a continuous integration system daily, we need it to work every time.

Makes sense @Damien_Gustave! Can you try disabling IPv6 on the host as I suggest above?

I did and it did not improve things:

```auto
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
15:28:00 [admin@tools-2|euwest1|:~] $ ip a

       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

```

After restarting the virtual box VM:

```auto
vagrant@vm:~$ wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-6.8.23.deb
--2025-03-13 16:48:50-- https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-6.8.23.deb

```

As you can see this is using ipv4 to connect:

```auto
Connecting to artifacts.elastic.co (artifacts.elastic.co)|34.120.127.130|:443... connected

```

Today, it's even the host that do not have access anymore...

```

Please unblock my server.

```auto

Thanks for confirming @Damien_Gustave. With IPv6 disabled I don't see any obvious reason for the block, so I've raised a request to the team to check and unblock if possible. I'll update you when I hear back.

Hope that helps!
