Hey everyone, I have a pfsense box that works great with almost all websites (99.99%). But this specific one - the link https://angelsrescue.org/ and its IP 35.208.254.225 - stops working on many browsers across my networks using both wired and wireless connections, even through pfsense. It works fine on my cell phone when I use LTE. Here are some key things to know: I can ping that address without any packet loss. I use NextDNS and the domain is in their allowed list. Even though it shows up as an allowed page in NextDNS logs, I keep getting blocked. I tried changing the DNS server, but nothing helped. I turned off pfBlockerNG - still gets blocked. It doesn't show up in my pfsense firewall logs as a blocked IP. When I add a rule to let that IP through from WAN to LAN, it shows up as an allowed event. I shared an image of my firewall rules and packet capture results here for you to see: Image of Firewall Logs, Rules, and Packet Capture Thank you if someone could share their thoughts on why this specific site is causing trouble!
