Website blocked by corporate firewall
My application's website is getting blocked on some corporate firewalls. I have a Letsencyrpt wild card domain validation certificate on the server. Has someone faced a similar issue? If so, I would appreciate if you could guide me through this.
Not unheard of. Some corporate IT equipment will not include or respect the Lets Encrypt CA.
There are possible workarounds like getting an organization validation certificate or extended validation certificate but nothing seems to guarantee that the issue would be resolved.
Where do you host the website? Usually corporate firewalls block certain IP ranges. For example we run into this problem recently with Firebase hosting.
I use the basic GoDaddy hosting. What was the problem is your case?
I don't know what exactly is the issue though I think not having a static IP address or an organization validation certificate for the server could be the issue.
The like problem is the corporate firewall block GoDaddy's hosting IP addresses. (In our case, they blocked the Firebase Hosting IP addresses, and since these IPs are used by all the FB hosted sites, there is no way you can convince the sysadmins to make exceptions. So we moved to VMs and our fixed IP)
Thanks for the insight man. I'll dig into it though I find it hard to conceive all Ip's from GoDaddy would be blocked. Also, moving would be expensive at this stage.
