I just renewed my observium license, which was out of date for a while. Trying to run svn update now but can't make a connection to the server from my Observium machine. I can connect fine from a machine on a different network, which is weird.
IP of Observium machine: 216.27.95.80
Username: tempeh-170154
Tried both svn and a plain CURL, with and without --username and --password.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
Usually this is caused by an intervening firewall/proxy mangling/blocking the SVN protocol.
Perhaps switching to https would fix it, or often there are settings that will cause the firewall/proxy to cease its mangling.
Adam.

I tried CURLing the svn site from other machines on the same network/subnet and it worked.
I tried changing the IP of the observium machine, but that didn't help. Tried changing to HTTPS with the CURL command, also no luck. CURLing other sites from the machine works fine.
No firewall changes have been made to the server or network since the last time I had successfully updated it. No proxys are present. I can't, in fact, even ping your svn machine from the server - but I can from other machines on the same network/subnet. svn.observium.org resolved to 37.187.79.83, and the weird thing is I can't ping .83-.85, but I can ping .82 and .86.
Even tried changing the machine's MAC address with no luck.
Any other ideas? Could there be some sort of block on your end?
Otherwise, if I can't get this to update I'll have to ask you to refund my recent payment.

Can you reach the website itself? That's hosted on the same system.
There aren't any filters that should hit that system.
Adam.

That was the tip I needed. I ended up having a static lookup for svn.observium.org in my hosts file for some reason, which was incorrect at this point. Removed that and updated successfully. Thanks for sticking with me on this!
