Hi @carly.richmond!

Thanks, @carly.richmond , but the geoip data shows correctly that the server is in the neatherlands, which I guess is not a sanctioned country: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/6/06de77f1f9b9a2afa2a89222617822e320759c06.png) Could this be fixed? ---

> Thanks, @carly.richmond , but the geoip data shows correctly that the server is in the neatherlands, which I guess is not a sanctioned country @Robert_Garrigos you are correct that the server is located in the Netherlands, which is not a sanctioned country. However, the blocking is done at an ASN level, and [the ASN](https://ipinfo.io/AS200019) that your IP belongs to has a connection to a sanctioned country that cannot be unblocked as it would let traffic that should be blocked through. If you think the ASN information is incorrect, you can request from the main IP database providers to update the information. Hope that helps! ---

No worries at all — and that’s great news 👍 Glad to hear it’s working for you since this morning. Thanks for checking it in multiple ways as well (websites, `curl`, and Chocolatey), that really helps narrow things down. Next time, if you’re able to grab the IPs, that would be perfect, but for now it sounds like everything has stabilized. ---

Hi @kim_dev, Thanks for flagging your issue. Before we raise a ticket can you confirm: 1. That IPv6 is disabled on the host? 2. That your internal network doesn't have any configured proxy or other network configuration that could be blocking the traffic? Let us know! ---

Hi @carly.richmond , I asked our network team, they said that nothing like this is on. We are using ipv4, and “[artifacts.elastic.co](http://artifacts.elastic.co)” worked before. And It is working for other IPs from “our pool” now e.g. 160.72.147.88 ---

Thanks for confirming @kim_dev. You say it's working from other IPs from the pool now. Can you confirm if the original IP is still experiencing a 403? I just want to check if it was a temporary issue that is now resolved. ---

Hi @Thomas_DE_LUCA, Welcome! IPv6 is currently not supported. Can you try disabling IPv6 and seeing if that solves your issue? If not do share with us the ip location info (via [http://ipinfo.io/](http://ipinfo.io/)) and the asset that you're trying to access. Let us know! ---

Ok, no problem, I can’t disable IPv6 but it is not used if you didn’t configure it on your side since ou don’t support it. Juste the 6 IPv5 addresses should be enough. ipinfo gives : ```auto { "ip": "45.9.114.21", "city": "Paris", "region": "Île-de-France", "country": "FR", "loc": "48.8534,2.3488", "org": "AS211310 Enedis SA", "postal": "75000", "timezone": "Europe/Paris", "readme": "https://ipinfo.io/missingauth" } ``` And similar for the other 5 addresses. I’m trying to docker login [docker.elastic.co](http://docker.elastic.co) and pull some images. Regards ---

Thanks @Thomas_DE_LUCA . Before I raise the issue can you perform a trace as per [these instructions](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/are-you-getting-403s-when-downloading-please-read-here-first/307340/260) to verify that you're definitely not hitting IPv6? We have seen cases where IPv6 is triggered when enabled even if it's not used. Let me know! ---

Hi @kim_dev, I hope you're well. Not sure if you're still having issues, but the ASN is added to the allow list. It might take a bit of time to propagate, but if you're still encountering issues let us know! ---

Hi @leont, Can you confirm which Elastic asset you're trying to download (or command you're running ) and that IPv6 is disabled on your host? That is a common reason for issues. Let us know.
