How to troubleshoot further/fix?

Hello @vahidimr49 ,
Welcome to the forum!

Please, check your firewall - it should not block any outgoing traffic.

I don’t have any firewall in our network or OS firewall . This server has located in Iran. Do you have any restrictions for this country?

I do not know. But Google could block it (our services are hosted in Google cloud).

Can you try to use a different location?

I tested from another location and everything working properly. We have 20 Tb Storage in one of DC in Iran. Do you have any suggestions for fixing this issue? Or can we use proxy or vpn for bypass this issue?

Br,Mohammad

I have no solution against politicians, sorry.
The only way is to use VPN. But you will be forced to do so for storagenode too, because no one of the satellites could contact your node and will fail audits and as result will be quickly disqualified.
If you decide to use a VPN, you need to use a VPN with port forwarding option, like portmap.io, ngrok, PIA, PureVPN, AirVPN, etc.
However, I would say it’s not profitable to run nodes in any DC: Topics tagged vps

I found this in our terms:

Node Terms and Conditions section 15. Export Compliance Node Operator Terms & Conditions

Node Operator shall not access or use the Storage Node Software or provide the Node Operator Service in a U.S.-embargoed or any sanctioned country or region or in violation of any U.S. export law or regulation.

And for customers:

Section 14. Export restrictions in Terms of Service | Storj
The Storage Services may not be used in any country that is subject to an embargo by the United States, and Customer may not use the Storage Services in violation of any export restriction or embargo or sanctions by the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction.

So, if Iran is in the sanctioned by US list of countries, it will not work neither for customers, nor node operators, sorry.
Moreover - it’s prohibited. I.e. - it may be not paid either or blocked.

I have a same problem,i lived in china,even tried in vpn still timeout
Really sad and frustrating about this,i think our politician are driving us away from globalization… :disappointed_relieved:

Hello @longlong,
Welcome to the forum!

Seems like that. You need to route all traffic to the VPN channel, include DNS.
Or add to your hosts:

 35.224.44.57 certs.alpha.storj.io

Thank you my friend!
I tried 3 hours and it’s finally worked.You are really my hero!
