Hi everyone, I’m setting up the new Network / ActivityPub features on my Ghost instance at [https://epicuro.net](https://epicuro.net). However, the Network tab completely crashes with a “Loading interrupted” error. I checked my server logs and ran a curl test directly from my server: curl -I [https://ap.ghost.org/.well-known/nodeinfo](https://ap.ghost.org/.well-known/nodeinfo) It returns an HTTP/2 403 Forbidden from the Google Frontend. It seems the IP address of my OVH VPS (141.95.53.122) is blacklisted or blocked by Ghost’s central infrastructure firewall. Could someone from the staff please look into this and whitelist my IP? Thank you! ---

> [@Luca8](#): > > It returns an HTTP/2 403 Forbidden from the Google Frontend. It seems the IP address of my OVH VPS (141.95.53.122) is blacklisted or blocked by Ghost’s central infrastructure firewall. That’s a red herring. You’re sending a `GET` request to the server and [ap.ghost.org](http://ap.ghost.org) is telling you that that’s now allowed. Can you restart your Ghost instance and watch the logs? It should say something about webhooks in the beginning (Ghost will try to auto-heal ActivityPub webhooks) – that can be very informative sometimes. ---

How can I force Ghost to regenerate it or manually inject it into the database/config? Thanks for your help! ---

And have you changed your domain recently? It does sound like an issue the administrators of [ap.ghost.org](http://ap.ghost.org) would need to fix though (but not that they need to whitelist your IP). @Sag can you help with this by any chance? ---

Hi Jannis and @Sag, Yes, the instance is currently running on **`https://epicuro.net`** , but the setup underwent some configurations and directory adjustments during development. The name of the blog started with the domain [hub.curanderie.com](http://hub.curanderie.com) that is still resident in the same server but it is not used anymore It’s highly likely that the central server (`ap.ghost.org`) has a mismatched record or a broken webhook binding for my site. Here are my current production details to help @Sag clear or reset the registration on your end: - **Current Domain:** `https://epicuro.net` - **Ghost Version:** 6.44.1 - **Environment:** Production If you can purge or reset the registration entries for `epicuro.net` on `ap.ghost.org`, I can restart my instance so the auto-heal system can provision a fresh webhook secret. Thank you both so much for the incredible support! ---

Hey @Luca8, We’ve recently shipped a [fix](https://github.com/TryGhost/ActivityPub/commit/d233dc260397a64fc28114b350c0bb12e742f784) to allow site domain changes to happen without breaking the Network tab. Looking at the database behind `ap.ghost.org` and production logs, it seems you’re facing a different problem: your `GET /.well-known/jwks.json` endpoint is currently pointing to the ActivityPub server, whereas it should be pointing to Ghost: [https://epicuro.net/ghost/.well-known/jwks.json](https://epicuro.net/ghost/.well-known/jwks.json) To fix that, ensure your nginx / Caddy configuration is only pointing `/.ghost/activitypub/*` and `/.well-known/(webfinger|nodeinfo)` to `ap.ghost.org` . Other endpoints should point to Ghost. See examples: - [nginx template](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost-CLI/blob/main/extensions/nginx/templates/nginx-ssl.conf) - [caddy template](https://github.com/TryGhost/ghost-docker/blob/main/caddy/snippets/ActivityPub) Sag Product engineer @ Ghost ---
