Cannot access epicgames.com website with Hughesnet, but I can with my cellular hotspot.
Rebooting the modem usually fixes it, but after power cycling it twice it still would not connect. I can access it through my hotspot just fine, so the Hughesnet connection is definitely at fault. If I open a command prompt and type "nslookup epicgames.com" (without the quotes) it does not resolve to an IP address. When I am connected to my hotspot, it resolves just fine and my game launcher logs me on without a connection error.
I have already cleared the DNS cache with command of "ipconfig /flushdns" .
I just tried and I am able to connect again, I haven't rebooted the modem or made any changes, so it fixed itself again. Something is going on with Hughesnet DNS.
It's not HughesNet's DNS because I was able to reach the site using their default DNS.
Each device retains a local, more immediate DNS as these things propagate across the network. It's more likely that the issue was cleared when you ran ipconfig and flushed it, and it just needed to re-propagate.
