@Magnus i am having the same problem with sudo at the moment, as are others so it's a general labs problem.

ops are aware and I assume it will be fixed soonish.

regarding the ip address and proxy, i might be able to look tomorrow

sudo issue is fixed now. Downgrading bug importance.

It is also
reachable under the proxy http://wikidata-wdq-mm.instance-proxy.wmflabs.org/

Had the same issue with my instance, you can add proxies manually now, it's on the left side bar. https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:NovaProxy Apparently the instance-proxy is being deprecated

The proxy address would be http://wikidata-wdq-mm.wmflabs.org (or any custom name, it's quite neat)

Hope this helps

Thanks Tim! I created

http://wdq.wmflabs.org/

which works just fine. I'll leave the bug open though, maybe someone can redirect the previous URLs without too much trouble.

it looks like the IP is specific to the tampa data center.

per Tim, appears the inatance-proxy system is going away

We might be able to ask about the IP, although I am not sure if the same IP range / addresses will be available

I'm just concerned that people may have bookmarked the IP or proxy URL, or have tools depending on them. Otherwise, good riddance :-)
