Works fine here. Please provide more information. Are you using IPv6?

(19 Mar '18, 07:39) scai ♦

we are using IPv4

Please try to answer my first question. Is this coming from a specific app? Or your browser? A library?

we are using IPv4

That message suggests that you're actually using IPV6, whether you are intending to or not. You're getting a hard fail after 10 seconds, not a "go away" message. I'd suggest the routing / name resolution settings etc. at your end are the problem.

However, as Richard says, it's definitely worth asking yourself whether nominatim.openstreetmap.org is what you should be pointing an app at. Why did you choose that instead of another nominatim provider?

so should i ask my server team to make it IPv6? we need latitude and longitude details as per city ,state and country hence we are using nominatim.openstreetmap.org. Please suggest what else I can use.

No, you should ask them to find out why it's not working.

Start with name resolution, and ask them why is it trying to go ipv6 not ipv4? Then look at routing (off your internal network) and firewalls etc.

we are following all policies. and not receiving 'blocked' kind of error. Is the use of IPv6 is mandatory?
