cant' reach web site

... but can on cell or when connected to a VPN or from an EC2 instance. The site (coffeehouse-talker.net) resolves fine with DNS to 82.221.136.1, but I can't reach it from my home network:

traceroute 82.221.136.1

My hosting provider (the site is my personal web site) swears they're not applying any filtering. I filed a report at https://spa.xfinity.com/report, and they say  "that there is no Advanced Security block related to the reported website."

This looks to me like a routing issue in Comcast's network, but of course there's no way to reach tech support. I've seen a number of other posts in this vein; has anyone figured it out?

My trace is similar to yours: it never leaves the Comcast network, and it dies not far from home. This is the signature of a Comcast IP block:

C>tracert -4 coffeehouse-talker.net

Tracing route to coffeehouse-talker.net [82.221.136.1] over a maximum of 30 hops:

  1      2 ms      1 ms      2 ms  router1 [192.168.1.1]
  2    11 ms      9 ms      8 ms  96.120.9.181
  3      9 ms      9 ms    10 ms  po-301-1203-rur01.york.pa.pitt.comcast.net [24.124.216.181]

5-30     *             *            *     Request timed out.

You might try giving Customer Security Assurance a call for this: https://spa.xfinity.com/contact-us

FWIW, I am on a different ISP's network and I'm able to browse to the site, and my traceroute completes to the destination server;

Trace complete.

Good luck with it !
