Hi Kennedy, Listers, Thanks for the pointer. It was/is squid proxy. The site loads successfully when I enable it for proxy by pass. This is in spite of the fact that this site is not in any of the black lists. Why would a site be unable to load through a proxy server?

There's squid, firewall, and DNS.
Will cross check the configs. Thanks!
Though if its a service blocking, would it block just that one site? Mind you no one else has accessed that box in a while.

Which services have you enabled on the pfsense box? That might determine whether the site IP is blacklisted, or snort is blocking, etc.
There's also a trick of disabling hardware checksum offloading...try it out...had an issue with it and a colleague pointed me that way.

Hi All,
I need some pointers, I am unable to access just one site on a network behind a pfsense firewall, and an 1800 series router.
I get the error "Access Denied. You're attempting to access a forbidden site. Contact your system administrator for details"
A trace to the site off a different provider (or from another location) from which the site is accessible is successful, however, the same does not apply from the affected site, and it times out after the third hop immediately after the provider's end of the last mile connection.
The provider insists that the problem is on my end, and indeed the site is accessible when I connect directly to their ONU.
Any point will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Emm
