That command works for me and looks like the correct one according to: https://keyring.debian.org/ > 6. Today, realise the upload has silently failed due to expired key. > 7. Extend expiry date of keys forward two more years. It is a good idea to set a calendar appointment or at/systemd-run job to give you a reminder before the date. I'm doing the expiry update 3 months before my expiry. https://riseup.net/en/security/message-security/openpgp/best-practices#set-a-calendar-event-to-remind-you-about-your-expiration-date > Any ideas on what configuration I might need to update? Maybe look at your firewalls, network or proxy setup, or use wireshark and tcptraceroute to see what is blocking the connection. Or try creating a temporary user on your machine, logging in as that, creating a new key with a test name/email and try sending that to the server, the result will give some more info on where the problem is. Also do that from another machine on the same network, or from a Debian Live system booted on your machine. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
