Thank 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. ... View more

I tried the suggested power the modem off/on. No change , I am still unable to connect to treasurydirect.gov. Hughesnet appears to be ignoring fixing this problem or even acknowledging it is their problem. I'll take this inaction as their indication I should just find a new ISP. For the record here is the error message I receive. "Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.treasurydirect.gov. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR" ... View more

Thanks for the additional work around. Your suggestion of using a proxy server has worked as my current workaround. If Hughesnet ignores the problem this will give me a reason to switch to Starlink when the snow melts. ... View more

Thanks for the proxy suggestion. A little time with Google and I was able to access the site for what I need using a proxy server. I do hope Hughesnet fixes this soon because it is not the long term solution I need. Again, thanks. Dear Hughesnet - It is not the target website that is having the problem but since I could access it using a proxy server it shows the problem is definitely with you. Please, pleas fix it. I don't want to have to use this workaround for long. Mike G. ... View more

How would I go about using a proxy as a workaround? ... View more

Also, I saw a workaround to this problem by disabling Web Acceleration. My modem has Web acceleration shown as not supported so I can't try that workaround. Just an FYI. Mike Glish . ... View more

As requested I Unplugged modem, let sit for 5 minutes, plugged back in. No joy. Problem still exists. No change in error message. "Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.treasurydirect.gov. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR" Your help on resolving this will be appreciated. Mike Glish ... View more
