I can *ping* it. But can't connect with a browser using the same address. www has no effect. I am stipulating that I won't accept a contract if an installation cannot access the addesses being blocked and others. blocked. ALL the submitted addresses are redirected to Cloudflare and require an authentication header. |

I've been using OpenDNS for a few years. But just looked, and it apparently now belongs to Cisco? >:( |

Wait.. you do connect via HTTPS exclusively when dealing with US ISPs, right? |

I use http/https unless other forms of interaction are more useful. I was quite happy with sendmail and ftp. But your own peer sendmail instance is long gone and ftp increasingly rare. I date from when they first allowed commercial entities on ARPANET and the name got changed to the Internet. At the time I used Usenet and bang path addresses. Big question in my mind is who is behind this? |
