keyserver timed out when trying to add a GPG public key

I am trying to add a public key for installing a program with CPG. But I am pretty new to this but every command I found gave me the same error:
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59
gpg: requesting key 94558F59 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: keyserver timed out
gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error
How is this possible it seems that the I am behind some kind of blockade which makes it impossible to establish a connection to the key server. I looked into many OP questions and tried all commands I could find but nothing worked. Anyone had this problem before?
bash ubuntu gpg

Have you tried using another keyserver? hkp://subkeys.pgp.net or hkp://pgp.mit.edu:11371

This is usually caused by your firewall blocking the port 11371. You could unblock the port in your firewall. In case you don't have access to the firewall you could either:
Force it to use port
80instead of11371
gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 94558F59
Alternatively
- Find and open the key from the key server.
- Copy it's contents into a text file.
- Go to System Tool > Preferences > Software Sources > Authentication > Add key, and select the text file created. For Ubuntu 14.04 and later try: Software Center -> Edit -> Software Sources -> Authentication -> Import key file

"Find and open the key from the key server." What nobody mentions is how that's done. In my case, the key in question is on gpg.mit.edu. Okay, easy, just go to pgp.mit.edu and paste the key into theSearch Stringfield! Wrong. You must know the magic secret: prepend the key with0x. If the key is0F571F6C, you must search for0x0F571F6C, which is in no way obvious.

I was working on this just an hour ago, and adding this line solved the problem for me. There is the difference that I specify port 80 explicitly. I also specify the protocol explicitly. You may be right that sudo is not needed, but my answer does ad a bit of relevant info, don't you think? Oh and, your answer is also correct.

I encountered same problem when I was trying to add a GPG key behind a proxy. The solution to my problem was to add the --keyserver-options in the command:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver-options http-proxy=http://USER:PASSWORD@PROXY_URL:PORT/ --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys GPG_KEY

Try getting your key from another server (worked for me):
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 94558F59
or
gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 94558F59

I'm seeing this on one of two identical boxes running ansible deployments against an ubuntu 14.04 image. In fact, it had previously worked for app-infra-1 but at some point it began to fail. The fact that it succeeded on app-infra-2 freshly recreated suggests it is a corruption on app-infra-1 or a bug in the detection and reporting of apt-key adv.
I tried deleting the key using apt-key del but I continue to get the same error.
changed: [app-infra-2] => {"changed": true, "item": "", "repo": "ppa:webupd8team/java", "state": "present"}
failed: [app-infra-1] => {"cmd": "apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 7B2C3B0889BF5709A105D03AC2518248EEA14886", "failed": true, "item": "", "rc": 2}
stderr: gpg: requesting key EEA14886 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: keyserver timed out
gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error
stdout: Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --homedir /tmp/tmp.2zqQuFdBjg --no-auto-check-trustdb --trust-model always --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/puppetlabs-keyring.gpg --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 7B2C3B0889BF5709A105D03AC2518248EEA14886
msg: gpg: requesting key EEA14886 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: keyserver timed out
gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error
In the end, since it's a vm, my solution was to re-build it with vagrant.

For me it was required to add ENV statements into my docker file. E.g.
ENV http_proxy "http://[yourproxy]:[port]/"
ENV https_proxy "http://[yourproxy]:[port]/"

"Find and open the key from the key server." What nobody mentions is how that's done. In my case, the key in question is on gpg.mit.edu. Okay, easy, just go to pgp.mit.edu and paste the key into the
Search String field! Wrong. You must know the magic secret: prepend the key with 0x. If the key is 0F571F6C, you must search for 0x0F571F6C, which is in no way obvious.– Ben Johnson

I was working on this just an hour ago, and adding this line solved the problem for me. There is the difference that I specify port 80 explicitly. I also specify the protocol explicitly. You may be right that sudo is not needed, but my answer does ad a bit of relevant info, don't you think? Oh and, your answer is also correct.

I encountered same problem when I was trying to add a GPG key behind a proxy. The solution to my problem was to add the --keyserver-options in the command:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver-options http-proxy=http://USER:PASSWORD@PROXY_URL:PORT/ --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys GPG_KEY

Try getting your key from another server (worked for me):
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 94558F59

I'm seeing this on one of two identical boxes running ansible deployments against an ubuntu 14.04 image. In fact, it had previously worked for app-infra-1 but at some point it began to fail. The fact that it succeeded on app-infra-2 freshly recreated suggests it is a corruption on app-infra-1 or a bug in the detection and reporting of apt-key adv.
I tried deleting the key using apt-key del but I continue to get the same error.
changed: [app-infra-2] => {"changed": true, "item": "", "repo": "ppa:webupd8team/java", "state": "present"}
failed: [app-infra-1] => {"cmd": "apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 7B2C3B0889BF5709A105D03AC2518248EEA14886", "failed": true, "item": "", "rc": 2}

In the end, since it's a vm, my solution was to re-build it with vagrant.

For me it was required to add ENV statements into my docker file. E.g.
ENV http_proxy "http://[yourproxy]:[port]/"
ENV https_proxy "http://[yourproxy]:[port]/"
