Routing Issues somewhere?

Is anyone having issues with routing to some websites?

I can get to a most, but oddly not to zen.co.uk or a few other sites unless I go though a vpn.

www.zen.co.uk - no route
status.zensupport.co.uk - OK

Doesn't seem to be DNS, I can get IPs for the sites, just not the site itself.

I have no problems accessing www.zen.co.uk from my Zen connection. Zen stopped hosting their main web site in their own facilities after a DDoS attack; the site has been hosted on Amazon Web Services for some time. As is typical for sites hosted on Amazon Web Services, you cannot traceroute all the way to the server as Amazon block ICMP.

Thanks,

I think the game I can't connect to is run on amazon too so there must be something up at amazon. VPN is fine though but sadly I ran out data on it, lol!

It's a long road to zen.co.uk...

I have removed the DNS names of this host and my gateway, as they are routed IPv4 (no NAT) addresses).

I'm guessing you are on a heavily loaded connection judging by the latency figures in your traceroute.
