Hi,

IIRC with sudo-enabled jobs it's a GCE VM, with sudo-disabled jobs it's
a container

There's no reason for that sudo: required anymore, so feel free to take
it away (I've already removed it from czmq, probably forgot to do the
same elsewhere), it should fix your problem

Unfortunately doing networking on Travis is a bit of a pain... had some
fun setting up an IPv6 enabled job a while back in libzmq
