At the moment I'm busy integrating Sign In with Apple in Zotonic (https://zotonic.com).

What I discovered is that access to the REST api end-point can be very unreliable. The development server I use sometimes can't access the end-point for hours because it rejects incoming connections.

$ curl https://appleid.apple.com/auth/keys
curl: (7) Failed to connect to appleid.apple.com port 443: Connection refused

Is this a known issue?
How can clients fix this issue? Is there a form they can fill out to unblock their server's ip-address (like microsoft has for delivering mail)

Regards,

Maas

And now it is not anymore...

It looks like apple switches servers every now and then.

When endpoint is working:

$ dig appleid.apple.com +short
appleid.idms-apple.com.akadns.net.
17.157.64.68

When the endpoint returns "Connection refused"

$ dig appleid.apple.com +short
appleid.idms-apple.com.akadns.net.
17.32.194.37
17.32.194.6

So it looks like there is some kind of ip-block for my dev server on 17.32.194.37 and 17.32.194.6.

Any thoughts on who to contact to remove the ip-block?

I also have the issue of being blocked except its my residential IP address. I do do some funky homelab stuff, and the issue of being blocked seems to have happened around the time that I created a network look and subsequent multicast storm - it went on for hours because I slept. macOS was receiving and sending about 50000 packets/s

Then later that day I notice anytime i need to login with apple ID it just stalls. Some network tests confirmed its not on my end so I have to assume I'm banned. Connecting to a VPN resolves the issue, but id like my residential IP to connect. It actually does cause a ton of problems because all of my apple devices get de-synced depending on what network theyre on. My icloud is so messed up a result.

I tried getting a new IP by reseting my ONT, and did, but its also banned, i think the IP subnet is. From googleing, it seems I have no recourse and any one with the power to help will tell you to check your network, restart computer, resinstall OS and not contact anyone responsible for the blocks
