PC from Lagos, Nigeria can no longer access FTH

Hello,
A member of our club from Nigeria was able to access our club's website  inspiringwm.toastmastersclubs.org/ (Club ID: 7961069) some time ago; however, she no longer was able to.  A couple of weeks ago Brian McDonald was able to open a small window in the IP structure so that her IP 41.184.9.64 is able to access.  Now her IP has been changed to 41.184.255.81 and it no longer works.  I asked that she changes it to a static IP address.  She mentioned that she is not unable to change her IP address myself. She asked her internet service provider to do it. They indicated because she is a retail consumer, ISPs here usually give dynamic IP addresses. The static one is mainly for businesses and organizations and comes with an extra cost.

Can we open a bigger window to address possible ranges of IP addresses that she may encounter, or do we have to keep opening tickets if a new IP address fails?

It now appears that I am not able to access the website from Toronto, Canada either.  The output of  www.whatismyip.com/ is 146.70.198.55 .The error I received is per below with and without VPN turned on.This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at  inspiringwm.toastmastersclubs.org/  might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED

Thanks,
Angela

146.70.198.55 is a VPN IP used by M247 one of the worst Internet homes for bad boys. 
Tell your club member not to use a VPN

Brian, our member is NOT using VPN from Nigeria. They don't want to use VPN since it cost them money.

Well then the IP you gave me is wrongThe IP address146.70.198.55 is owned by M247 LTD (specifically listed as M247 LTD Quebec Infrastructure). 
  • Organization: ORG-MLQ2-RIPE (M247 LTD)
  • Netname: M247-LTD-Quebec
  • Location: The IP range is associated with infrastructure in Quebec, Canada (specifically mapped to coordinates 45.4977, -73.5709).
  • ASN: AS9009 (M247 Europe SRL) 
M247 is an infrastructure and internet service provider.

That is the output of whatismyip.com shows that IP per attachment. 

The output of ipconfig /all shows:

I created another ticket for my FTH access issue from Toronto, Canada so as not to mix up the issue with FTH access from Nigeria.
