Can't connect to www.bayareafastrak.org using Safari, Firefox or Chrome. But Tor works. Any ideas ?
For quite a while, perhaps 2 OS versions, whenever I try to connect to the Bay Area Fastrak web site, I have been getting "Connection refused" or "Safari can't open a safe connection" or some other variation of "Can't talk to him". This happens from both iPhone and iMacs using my home wi-fi network (Time Capsule router). This behavior is consistent over Safari, Chrome, Opera and Firefox. If I set my iPhone to use Cellular data works fine, which points to either the Time Capsule or my Service provider. Apple support says "Can't be the Time Capsule", Spectrum says "It all looks good on our end" and Bay Area Fastrak says "How the **** would we know ? I guess it ***** to be you.".
Typical.
Then, for some reason, it occurs to me to try the Tor Browser. Bingo, it works first time.
I am not smart enough to understand what just happened. Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.
iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)
