Can't get to dslreports.com

[Trikein]

This is the second time in the last month I have been unable to browser to https://www.dslreports.com/ . I get error: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. Down detectors website detect the website as up and I can access it fine on my phone with wifi off. Just can't access it using my FIOS connection. Pingplotter shows a normal route up to the last hop. Anyone have this problem?

No problems accessing the site here at home. Here is the URL to the FiOS forum. Can it be accessed at your location?

Try power cycling the ONT and router to see if that makes any difference. Also try resetting the router.

Traceroute normal until last hop suggests it is likely not a routing issue on VZ network.

You can also ask the question here without the run around to DSLReports.

Not sure why rebooting the router fixed it, but it did.  Last time it came back after about 3 days of me doing nothing. Let's hope it doesn't happen again.

FiOS router? Do you have the Home Network Protection feature enabled? Maybe that was flaking out and blocking access on accident.
