Wpscan scan fail (Scan Aborted)

[Muitinkinyakkin]

I am running wpascan with the following command:
wpscan --url www[.]example.[]com -e ap --detection-mode aggressive

error message:
Scan Aborted: The url supplied 'hxxp://www[.]example.[]com' seems to be down (Failure when receiving data from the peer)

No matter the arguments/targets, error persists (wpscan is up to date)
Any idea what's going wrong here?

It seems like the server is not reachable from the machine that is running wpscan. Did you try accessing the same URL using something like curl? If so, could you paste the output of curl here followed by the output from wpscan?
