@emad-ramlawi Do you know what changed with Cloud Flare? I was working fine for about a year and when 3.10 3.11 rolled out, I see connection refused everywhere. Time to switch I guess.

Hi, I think it has to do with CF masking the original IP and no option to let it pass the request, we face those issues alot where I work. we use it only to get free SSL certs. Best, Emad R.

So after switching registrars from CF (to Gandi) per @emad-ramlawi suggestion, I had better results albeit unstable. What helped for me was adding localhost.localdomain in my inventory file which is overwritten in line 119 of grant's install-openshift.sh file.

In my fork of this repo, I add something like this to line 119:
"${IP} localhost.localdomain console console.${DOMAIN}"

I also had to comment out line 161 and 162 so that my /etc/hosts file was not overwritten.

This seemed to clear up all "verify you have provided the correct host and port and that the server is currently running".

Not sure if this is addressing the root cause but hopefully helps somebody.
