For the past 36 hours I’ve been having issues reading some of the hosted Discourse forums. I noticed that other people do not have this problem and that I can connect fine if I connect through a VPN exit node, so it’s something specific to my location or ISP, but it’s very annoying.
I browse the internals.rust-lang.org instance almost every day and noticed yesterday that it didn’t load for me. Similar for users.rust-lang.org and community.letsencrypt.org. discourse.julialang.org seems to work, albeit slowly, and this site works fine. DNS resolves quite quickly, to 184.105.176.44. My current IP is 82.174.246.87 (but ip.discourse.org won’t load for me) – my ISP is T-Mobile.

Any clues as to what might be going on?
(I noticed that I started a similar thread in April 2020.)
