Some Hookshot Issues

We turned Hookshot (our new GitHub Services backend) on yesterday. Things have been pretty smooth, with one issue: Hooks going to other EC2 nodes come from the private IP addresses of our nodes in the 10...* range.

If your web hook servers are on EC2 and are missing hooks from GitHub due to an IP restriction, we recommend the following:

  1. Remove the IP white list.
  2. Fall back to HTTPS and Basic Auth to restrict pushes to authorized senders only.

We’re currently working on solving this problem. Hit up support@github.com if you have any questions.
