Can't access our company's website from our network

We're currently having issues with accessing our website that is being hosted from a third party. All users in our network can't load the site. It returns "Website not available". Accessing it outside the network is just fine. We've added our domain name under "Protect/Web/Exceptions" and still no luck.

  • Hello there,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

    Additionally to what rfcat_vk has mentioned, please do a nslookup from one of the computers that is unable to access the website, confirm if the IP address that it resolves to, is the same that your 3rd party website hosting is using.

    Regards,

  • Hi,

    part of the issue will be that the XG does not handle IPv6 very well and does not appear to return an IPv6 address when performing look-up.

    Are you using the XG as a DNS or are you using your AD. You might like to check your IP4 and IPv6 settings in the XG.

  • We are using our AD. Our DNS query configuration under "Configure/Network/DNS Query Configuration" is currently set to "Choose server based on incoming requests record type".

  • When you try the same test from the XG diagnostics tab what are the results?

    The issue appears to be you IP4 and IPV6 setup in the XG and users. The internal nslookup only returned an IP4 address.

  • Hello there,

    Can you run the following command from the Advanced Shell of the XG you will need to use Putty to SSH and then press 5 >3

    After that run the following command:

    # wget https://aoausa.com
