GSoC Students from Sri Lanka were able to access https://modules-refapp.openmrs.org at the beginning.
But for more than two weeks, We can’t access these following applications from our country.
Someone sent me a related message a couple of days ago (when I was leaving for my holidays), saying that they needed a VPN to access demo.openmrs.org and refapp.openmrs.org.
The person said ‘some of us’, which doesn’t really give me any clue where they are located.
The sad part is that there’s very little chance I can actually do anything about this. Because it’s a timeout, there’s something between your machine and my service dropping the packages.
If everyone having problem on the same country? Same provider? Same IP? (https://whatismyipaddress.com/).
If everyone is on the same IP, it might be blocked on my end.
Can you try to use a VPN, and see which countries are affected? I don’t have Sri Lanka on my VPN, but from India,
So, can you try the following servers on your browser:
$ traceroute garissa.openmrs.org

If yours is getting to jetstream/tacc, I can ask our provider to investigate. If it’s blocking it before, it’s pretty hard
I can recreate the machine in another datacenter, but really, it can be blocked as well.
So it mean you cannot reach that specific datacenter.
Can you run the traceroute? Depending of the operational system you have, it will be different, but it’s an attempt to understand the path on the network the packages are doing.
Also, if someone has a VPN, please test. Or other internet providers. Pretty much anything.
