Xfinity issue connecting to my work VPN

I'm having problems connecting to gpcloud.connect.boeing.com and gpcloud.connect.boeing.com.
I called my work IT and they say Xfinity is blocking their URLs. It is working when I use the hotspot on my phone, so the problem is in Xfinity side.


I run through the steps mentioned here: https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/your-home-network/unable-to-connect-to-internet-with-my-work-laptop/697e54a8bef17951d874fce6?commentId=697e570fbef17951d87543bb and it is not solving the problem.

As a note, this was working on Thursday 02/12 and has been working for the past weeks. I noticed the problem Friday 02/13 in the Morning.

See ping/traceroutes below to the two endpoints, showing it is not reaching out destination but it is pass the home internet gateway.

I need a solution to this, otherwise I cannot work, if I cannot work this internet connection is useless to me.

Also, the xfinity assistant/chat is completely useless and frustrating for this. How can I open an actual ticket/complain or talk to a human?

I am having the same problem which I first noticed on Friday, 2/13.  I deactivated Xfinity Advanced Security and I will re-test tomorrow but that may fail as it did for you.  It worked for me on Wednesday 2/11 of last week.

I saw instructions about adjusting the firewall to "Low Security" but this has not been possible for a while since all modem changes are done with the Xfinity smartphone app.  I called the Help Desk.  The tech remoted to my PC and did the same ping tests that I did.  It's not a problem with Boeing servers.

Below are my network tests:

Thanks for replying. Your reply and the other post linked on my initial post confirms there are at least 3 people impacted. The timing you see matches mine too.

Boeing Help Desk told me there was several other people impacted and pointed to problems at the ISP level. I can confirm it is ISP level because if I connect to a mobile hotspot then the Boeing servers are reachable again, but I cannot work connected to a mobile hotspot for obvious reasons.

I just tested it and it is still broken.

@Xfinity Support any progress on this? You have several folks that won't be able to work tomorrow because of this issue.
