# X_OUTBOUND_UNREACHABLE

## Means

an outbound HTTP call got no response

## Typical cause

outbound() could not resolve the host, connect, finish TLS, or the connection was reset before a response arrived. The vendor is down, or an egress rule drops the traffic. Retryable

## Fix

`curl -sS -m 5 -o /dev/null <meta.origin>` — reachable from here? Else check the egress rule and the vendor's status, then re-run the call
