Tlstest site down

[Skouat]

Hi team,

I don't know how/where report that the TLS Test site doesn't respond.
So all scripts that use this URL don't work.

Also via browser , there is no response.

Best regards 👍

Yep not working for me either... Dig isn't finding a record for that (sub)domain at all (at least via Google Public DNS):

$ dig tlstest.paypal.com @8.8.8.8

FWIW another user reporting the same issue over a week ago on the PayPal forums (only response so far is me).

Confirming this is still down on 10/9/2019. The DNS record doesn't appear to exist anymore:

nslookup tlstest.paypal.com
Server:         208.94.37.18
Address:        208.94.37.18#53

I think it's safe to say this domain doesn't exist anymore since it no longer serves a purpose. Feel free to test using sandbox URLs. :)
