FreeToastHost Sites Unreachable Through Starlink — Connection Timeout - Club 652

30 Oct 2026, 8:52 p.m.

Hello FreeToastHost Support,I'm experiencing a connectivity issue affecting multiple FreeToastHost websites, including our club's website:https://communicatorsplus.toastmastersclubs.org/I've isolated the problem to my Starlink internet connection.Diagnostic findings:

The website loads normally on my Mac when connected through an iPhone cellular hotspot.
The same Mac and browser cannot access it through Starlink.
The FreeToastHost sample club website is also inaccessible through Starlink.
DNS resolves both websites to 50.19.253.65.
HTTPS connections to 50.19.253.65 on TCP port 443 time out after approximately 10 seconds.
An independent TCP connection test using
```
nc
```
also times out.
A traceroute successfully traverses Starlink and reaches GTT's Dallas network before subsequent hops stop responding.
Testing through a VPN did not restore access.

Could you please check whether your server, firewall, or hosting provider is filtering or dropping connections originating from Starlink?If no filtering is present, could you advise whether your hosting provider can investigate the network path to 50.19.253.65?My Starlink public IP address is: [INSERT PUBLIC IP]Thank you for your assistance.

FTH does not support VPN, the majority of VPN IP have been blocked for abuse.

Please give me your internet IP when connected to starflink
use a site like https://whatismyipaddress.com/

Hi Brian,

I'm following up on the connectivity issue accessing our Communicators Plus Toastmasters website (Club 6525) through Starlink.

The website is accessible using my phone's cellular connection, but I cannot access it through Starlink using either Safari or Chrome.

I checked my public IP information, and the results are:

IPv4: 174.224.88.99
IPv6: 2600:100f:b1aa:fc3f:d067:f00f:d263:805f
Reported ISP: Verizon Business

Could you check whether either address is being blocked by the FreeToastHost server or its firewall, or whether there might be another routing issue?

I'd appreciate your help identifying the cause so I can continue working on our club website.

Thank you,

Hi Brian,

Please disregard the previous email. Below are the two IP addresses. I'm following up on the connectivity issue accessing our Communicators Plus Toastmasters website (Club 6525).

I can access the website using my Verizon cellular connection, but attempts through Starlink fail in both Safari and Chrome.

I've now verified the public IP addresses for both connections:

Starlink — Unable to connect

IPv4: 98.97.49.89
IPv6: 2605:59ca:350c:bc08:cd11:6eec:98c9:8804
ISP: SpaceX Services Inc.

Verizon Cellular — Connects successfully

IPv4: 174.224.88.99
ISP: Verizon Business

Since the website works over cellular but not Starlink, I'm wondering whether the Starlink IP address or address range is being blocked by the FreeToastHost server or its hosting provider.

Would you be able to check the firewall or server logs for blocked connections from the Starlink address? If nothing appears there, perhaps we can narrow down whether it's a routing or IPv6 connectivity issue.

Thank you for your help.
