Jesus Loves YOU.
I am again having routing issues, this time on my home ISP to servers and services in Azure.
Worked last week, now no longer...
What is going on with the network layers between Service Providers these days ?
Do Cybersmart or Lightspeed even have a representative on here ?

I can SSH to this server, but browsing to the Webserver .. nope trace also looks funky

C:\Users\Owner>tracert ***

ISP is handing over traffic to Microsoft at hop 5 so it is out their network.

What makes the trace look funky? If you can SSH but not access another port it's a filter issue, either at ISP or server level. Unlikely at ISP level though typically.

Thats the best way I can put it.
The server is mine at Azure, I have made no firewall changes whatsoever.
Worked last week, this week nada.

What are you using as a router/firewall on your side, is your service on the alternative port accessible from other networks? Try run a trace from the server to your home IP.

Mikrotik router
Service is a HTTPS API
Unable to trace back from the server to my home connection either.. whack
Works on different ISP's with no issue

Port 443 then? I would open a ticket with MS, it isn't routing related if ssh works.

Days of traces being very useful are over,ICMP is blocked 9/10 times

Spawn a linux VM in another Region (or a free one on Google Cloud) and see if you can Telnet and Wget to the IP and Port

If you can SSH then you can reach it,i've had the odd occasion where a NSG rule stops working

The NSG allows HTTPS traffic from everywhere, and SSH from trusted IP's
Strange, very strange
