treasurydirect.gov not accessable on Hughesnet
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!

This problem occurred before and there are other questions about it if you search. Hughes must have fixed the problem before. I asked about the problem in 2018 if I remember right. Now it came back on two of my computers but one works OK.
As Liz wrote, "Hughes has identified that the Treasury Direct website claims to support IPv6, but is not configured correctly. "
The problem is with the configuration of the Treasury Direct website. HughesNet is working on a workaround for customers affected by the Treasury Direct website's misconfiguration issue (which is not a HughesNet issue). Another workaround is to use a VPN to access the specific site.
The issue may likely occur again with other websites that have a misconfiguration, and just like now, it won't be a HughesNet issue.
