Network is unreachable - connect(2) for "199.16.156.217"

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the gem or a networking issue on my side, but I've been having connection issues when trying to use the streaming API. I've tested this on multiple machines and received the same error shown below. Using the latest version of the twitter gem v5.15.0.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
