Donald Stufft added the comment: I just heard back from Fastly again. They are going to donate a dedicated IP address setup on top of the rest of the stuff they are already donating to us. It's not setup yet and the exact details are not sorted out yet. This should more or less eliminate this

Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: It looks like the IP address is being used by some viruses/trojans: https://www.virustotal.com/en/ip-address/185.31.17.175/information/ It may help using e.g. b.global-ssl.fastly.net as CNAME for docs.python.org (e.g. by adding it to the /etc/hosts).
