Answer 1

I had similiar issue on

MAC OS X

what i did:

• deactivated FIREWALL
• set proxy in intellij (like explained in this thread)
• set the ipstack-flag

nothing solved the problem...

what helped

• starting intellij with Java 1.6 and NOT java 1.8 (defined in /Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ 14.app/Contents/Info.plist )
