gpg: keyserver receive failed: No route to host stack overflow

While attempting to set up fastlane for my iOS application, I encountered challenges while installing RVM.

My command is

gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113************* 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D69561*************

  1. gpg --armor --export ___YOUR_KEY_HERE____ | pbcopy
  2. curl --location 'http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/add' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \ --data-urlencode 'keytext=__PASTE_HERE__'

Ik it's late but for future references

rvm mentioned alternative servers on there website you can use any of them. Mentioned servers as of now are below ones

hkp://ipv4.pool.sks-keyservers.net
hkp://pgp.mit.edu
hkp://keyserver.pgp.com

Check list here: https://rvm.io/rvm/security

TL;DR; The list of key servers is unstable and some of them are not pingeable at all. Here's a way of finding an available server

I've tried different key servers and got a

gpg: keyserver receive failed: No route to host or a gpg: keyserver receive failed: Operation timed out

You have to find a server that's up and running correctly

  1. Run gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr 'keyserver --hosttable' to get the list of available servers
  2. Run the gpg --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C2………………6956105BD0E739499BDB and instead of hkp://pool.sks... try few of the servers URL

Please use 

hkp://ipv4.pool.sks-keyservers.net

instead of 

hkp://keys.gnupg.net

type this command 

gpg --keyserver hkp://ipv4.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113************* 7D2BAF1CF37B13E2069D69561*************
