“cURL error 7: (http_request_failed)”

I have the error message “cURL error 7: (http_request_failed)” when trying to activate the premium plugin on a new client site.
The client's host is asking for the IP of the remote server requesting the plugin activation; I guess so they can add it to a 'safe' list. Do you know your IP that I can share with the client to forward to their host of the where the activation request comes from?
Thanks,
Chris.
Hi Chris,
That's strange - there's no HTTP request made when activating the plugin.
The Site Library gets its sites from gpsites.co, but only when you visit "Appearance > GeneratePress".
Automatic updates check with generatepress.com for the active license, but that's only when activating your license key/performing an update.
If it's a GP issue, then those are the two domains to allow.
