treasurydirect.gov not accessable on Hughesnet
- 4 years ago
Hello all,
We've made network adjustments to account for how the Treasury Direct site is configured, so all can access the site normally without any need for workarounds. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Mike, it's not a HughesNet issue. Running a tracert shows that the problem is with a CenturyLink server in LA, not with HughesNet. When you use a VPN you bypass that server.
- mkglish4 years agoFreshmanThank you for your response. Since I have no contract with CenturyLink who may be part of the problem the resolution still must lie with Hughhesnet who contracts with Centurylink. If Hughesnet has a supplier problem then it is their (Hughesnet) responsibility to get it fixed. Again thanks for the information. That may explain why once in the past weeks my connection to treasurydirect.gov worked for a single day. I'm going to guess I was switched to a different ground station which connected to an alternate Internet backbone. Always interesting to see where my "local" walmart, Lowes, Homedeport... comes up day to day as my earth station link moves about the country. I'm also guessing that the power the modem down/up can cause the assignment of earth stations to change thus "fixing" my problem until I get switched back to a earth station with the problem. Dear Hughesnet - please just fix this problem. I really don't want to have to switch ISPs.

Good morning folks,
Thank you for sharing your findings. I've escalated this internally to management and they have our network infrastructure team investigating. I'll post back once I have any news to share.
Your patience and understanding are much appreciated.
