Hey there! The last hop from your trace is 172.31.200.141, which is part of the private IP block of 172.16.0.0/12, so it doesn't tell us much as to where that trace died. Since you aren't reaching the cPanel network at all, I don't believe there is anything we can do on our end to help. Can you speak to your network admin or ISP to see if they have any more details on why that traceroute isn't getting closer to us?

Well the ip 172.31.200.141 is not mine , it is some sort of middle gateway , I don't have control over it. It looks like an issue on zendesk.com network, even the cloudlinux support , who also use zendesk is not working .

That IP is a private IP so you wouldn't be able to trace it to anyone.

Just as a test, can you ping 104.18.249.37 from your network? Or can you reach support.zendesk.com in a browser?
Yes these ips works fine
