Greetings,
So here's a new problem that I've never seen before. Over the weekend I discovered that I could no longer access the geocaching.com website through my home ISP (a small local provider). They had me run a trace route which indicates a qwest node in in the northwest is the problem. The last IP in the trace log is 63.235.80.54 (dia.static.qwest.net). My ISP told me that they were most likely blocking my IP address intentionally. I then confirmed with another user on the same ISP that their access to geocaching.com is being blocked by exactly the same node. Neither of us is having problems with any other website. So my theory is that the node is either blocking a range of IP addresses which include mine and the other user (162.219.xxx.xxx), or they are blocking our ISP (208.64.79.233). I did a blacklist check on both my ISP and on my own IP and nothing came back positive.
This is very strange. I feel like I'm trying to solve a 5 star geocaching puzzle.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Anyone else experiencing anything like this?
Thanks!
