Hello,

Per the docs recommendation, we put --enable-dns-resolver in our scripts because we were running into timeout issues.

Now it’s actually that flag that is causing timeout issues and things are running run without it. Just wanted to give a heads up:

/app # doppler --enable-dns-resolver --debug run – bundle exec rails c

I can’t post the full backtrace because this service says I can only make posts with less than two links in the post since I’m new.

Hi @weilandia!

Welcome to the Doppler Community!

Can you try posting again? This time, use two sets of three backticks (`) to wrap the backtrace like this:

Typically, if you’re still having timeout issues after switching to the custom DNS resolver, then there’s likely some kind of network accessibility issue in your environment. Are you able to ssh into or attach to the machine and run commands by hand? If so, could you see if curling other URLs works too?
