Request to see if the IP address of 69.239.142.170 is being blocked

Greetings, I'm the webwrangler of club 4015-Plano Talkers website , this website has not been accessible from my home which has the fixed IP address of 69.239.142.170 . I have done a DNS lookup and am able to get the IP address resolution of 50.19.253.65 , but when I do a tracert, I get the following:

Code:
Tracing route to [50.19.253.65] over a maximum of 30 hops:   1    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  192.168.1.1   2     *        *        *     Request timed out.   3     1 ms     1 ms     1 ms  [99.48.0.1]   4     2 ms     2 ms     1 ms  71.155.70.201   5     3 ms     3 ms     2 ms  12.242.112.22   6     *        *        *     Request timed out.   7     *        *        *     Request timed out.   8     *        *        *     Request timed out.   9     *        *        *     Request timed out.  10     *        *        *     Request timed out.  11     *        *        *     Request timed out.  12     *        *        *     Request timed out.  13     *        *        *     Request timed out.  14     *        *        *     Request timed out.  15     *        *        *     Request timed out.  16     *        *        *     Request timed out.  17  ^C


I am also having issues accessing the following sites:
```
* wylie.toastmastersclubs.org - 50.19.253.65
* diamondtoastmasters.toastmastersclubs.org - 50.19.253.65
```
I also monitor the site status via a Uptime Kuma instance. However, I can't put in the URL. 

I have reached out to AT&T Internet who is my Fiber Internet provider, and they are left scratching their heads. All other sites are accessable.

All three sites are loading quickly for me.

Are you using a VPN? That would explain multiple FTH sites being inaccessible. FTH blocks VPN access due to 3rd party abusers.

If not; did this site loading behavior suddenly change? Are you accessing via a corporate network who's security policies might have changed?

This sounds like an IP block. If you're not using a VPN it will have to be addressed by FTH Admin.

Eyup. DNS resolves, but site does not load, I am able to replicate across multiple machines within my home network including a phone and tablet. When I switch to 5G mode on my phone and tablet, the sites load.

Not using a VPN.

Yes. UptimeKuma at my end reported "timeout of 48000ms exceeded" starting at 2025-12-24 14:53:48 Central Time.

No. This is a home connection.

Try it now. IP was blocked for over 2000 hits in a single day.

It was from the instance of UptimeKuma which I have had running to monitor the site status . I reduced the ping from every 150 to every 300 seconds. Can you whitelist this IP address?

Please don't do that, once an hour is more than enough we have our own uptime monitors.
