×Hi there @torrsy,
I would recommend trying to run an MTR to check where exactly your packages are being lost:
Question
- mtr netflix.com
Also which region is your Droplet based in? Have you tried deploying a Droplet in a different region to see if it works? What is the exact error that you get when you try to visit the site?
Regards,
Bobby
Originally my droplet was in SF region. I have now changed this to NY region.
I’m getting the same error when attempting to browse to netflix.com
ERRTIMEDOUT
Other websites are working fine. By the looks of it, DigitalOcean IPs are being blocked. If this is the case, we’ll be using another service.
I don’t know what MTR does, its not a Windows command, nor is it in FreeBSD.
The best I can do is a trace route, below are the results.
C:\Users\PCSCH>tracert www.netflix.com
