Cannot access FreeBSD forums from FreeBSD :))

I think this happened when I updated packages a month ago and they weren't touched for a few months. On 13.
Well I don't know what to say. forums.freebsd.org does not work under FreeBSD but it does under Windows on same machine. In both cases, networking is trivial, DHCP only no firewalls, no hosts, nothing.

I'm going to make a trace on Windows, but it seems I have IPv6 there. Maybe that's relevant
 
forums.freebsd.org does not work under FreeBSD
What exactly "does not work"? Can't resolve? Can't connect? Getting other errors?

It could but the forums should be available on both IPv4 and IPv6.
 
As you can see from the trace the other side doesn't want to TCP handshake with me. It ACK's my SYN and then RSTs.

So when I put that URL in the browser I immediately get connection error, just as that netcat session dies immediately.

P.S. the entire freebsd.org infrastructure works, ports, pkg, the main site, freebsd-update, etc.
 
I think I do. And I'm pretty sure time on the desktop clock is correct.

Consider that I have no problems whatsover in connecting to any other site.
I don't see what SSL magic could be in the TCP layer.
 
Zare can you PM me your IP address? We don't have a lot of blocks but we do have some in place to combat spam. Not saying you're a spammer but your IP address may be from a range we have blocked.

Although I would expect the connection to time-out if you hit the block rules. You're getting a hard RST in response, so it may be something else.
