  Hi

  I’m trying to connect n8n Cloud to a WordPress site hosted on HostGator, and the connection and my API requests are timing out.

  As far as I know, WordPress plugins and firewalls are not blocking the requests.

  I contacted HostGator support, hoping this would be the case of “whitelisting” the n8n’s API addresses, but they confirmed that:

  • Traffic from their server reaches the Azure backbone
  • The connection is dropped on the Azure side
  • They see the same drop when testing connectivity

  This results in timeouts when n8n Cloud tries to access /wp-json/ endpoints.

  Has anyone else experienced this before?

  Thanks
