T-Mobile IP's Blocked

Interesting, I did not have any issues access the T-Mobile website. I wonder if you are behind a firewall. I do not use a VPN so I cannot comment on it. If your own web server is blocking you (HTTP), then you have something going on. Is your web server on Linux? If so, Linux runs firewall software that requires adjustments (I used to run Apache). You should revisit your topology and see if have a software layer causing your problems. Of, turn off everything but your PC/Mac client and your T-mobile gateway, then test Internet access. 

¡Buena suerte!

 

Bocaboy said it’s the forum getting overloaded for that, so appearantly tmobile is not blocking it’s own ips. just a overloaded forum for that. 

I was fairly clear, the firewall is pulling block lists (this is common practice) from security companies (as I mentioned for example, Barracuda, which is a fairly large one). These block lists contain huge swaths of Tmobile IP ranges. None of the blocking is happening from my side. Once I manually remove the tmobile ip ranges from my servers firewall, all is normal again. I will repeat again, these are block lists distributed by web security companies. The lists are for sites/server admin's to block known problem ip's and ranges. It just so happens that huge swaths of T-Mobile IP's are labeled as High Risk. Seems to affect home internet ip's, does not appear to affect Ip's on the phone end of things to as great a degree, however, I am seeing our phone's ip's hit those lists too. 

Doesn't matter if it's PC or phone when it goes over the home internet. Doesn't matter if it's directly through the T-mobile router or my own asus. 

I still have our old extremely slow cable internet (grandfathered plan dirt cheap from the Time Warner days) that I held on to while seeing if I would be keeping Tmobile home internet. A simple switch of the ethernet cable from t-mobile to spectrum modem and back to zero issues.
