Unable to access ThingWorx Evaluation Server

[nko]

Hi,

I've just created trial ThingWorx Evaluation Server https://PP-1901100731PB.devportal.ptc.io/Thingworx, but can not access it anyhow. Even trying to go to link https://PP-1901100731PB.devportal.ptc.io/Thingworx shows an error ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT.

Hi @nko.

Apologies for the delay.  We will engage with the appropriate team for checking.

Regards.

Greetings,

The ThingWorx Developer Portal's 30-day hosted trial runs on a 3-hour timer. 3 hours after starting, it will auto-shutdown. 

To continue to utilize the 30-day hosted server, you simply need to restart it.

You may do so from your Profile > Hosting page located here: https://developer.thingworx.com/en/profile/hosting 

We have restarted the server as of this writing, but it will auto-shutdown again after 3 hours. Restart it to continue.

Thank you,

Jason

Greetings,

We've looked into this server again, and I'm afraid that we can access it without issue. 

When we attempt to hit that URL, we got a user/pass login request, so the server was definitely up and running.

Is it possible that something in your networking setup is preventing access? 

Regardless, if you continue to experience issues, then you may wish to circumvent the entire process by moving to one of the downloadable 120-day trials. You can find them here:

Thank you,

Hello,
The thing is that I've tried to access this server from both, my work network and from 4G cell phone network. For both I have the same result. Also it could happen that Russian state organization ROSCOMNADZOR is blocking your IP ranges on country level, but I don't know how to check it.

Server is available now. Have no idea what was the root cause.
