Which won't work if your IP address is in the blocked list.  It was
silly of me to suggest it.  I don't know what I was thinking but I was
not thinking correctly.  There are dozens of whatsmyip sites on the
net but I wasn't sure of the libre status of them so I suggested this
one.

If you are receiving a 502 Bad Gateway then you are talking to the
system and your IP address is not being blocked.

A 502 Bad Gateway is a symptom of an overloaded machine.  It can't
service the FastCGI request before it times out and when it times out
it reports a 502 Bad Gateway response.  This is currently due to the
large botnet.  I expired a bunch of the oldest IPs in the list and
they are re-offending and getting blocked again.

As a member you can use ssh:// protocol for your fetch for any of the
projects and then that's a different protocol and subsystem and it
should work.  It's not getting hit by the botnet.  It is on the same
server however so will be slowed by the general system load.

You might try this URL to provide the information.

    https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=what+is+my+ip+address

However since it is you Karl you can log into any of the servers such
as your own and then run "who" to see what IP address it logs.  Or do
the same and then "printenv SSH_CLIENT" to see what IP address was
used.
