Unable to access specific website/server

A weird problem that's cropped up for me in the last week or so - I can't connect to a specific site/server from my home broadband. Connecting from other places or from my mobile (with wifi disabled) works perfectly.

The site is www.juracid.co.uk - that plus a few others hosted on the same server seem to be unreachable (or reachable very intermittently) from my broadband connection.

Very similar to the problem posted here:

https://community.plus.net/t5/ADSL-Broadband/Unable-to-access-A-Specific-Website/td-p/1449675

 

I have tried changing DNS servers to public ones like 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 or 1.1.1.1 etc. and it makes no difference.

 

I've tried it from every device in the house, no difference. As far as I can tell the rest of the internet works fine from the connection.

Nothing has changed in our networking setup - it was working fine, and then it wasn't.

It's been down and up (more down than up) for the last few days, maybe a week - example ping log attached, traceroute pasted below - although even when it's working, traceroute doesn't appear to resolve properly, I guess something is not playing ball.

Re: Unable to access specific website/server

Fix

Now fixed - it was a bizarre conflict between Dokuwiki and mod_security on the server leading to it banning my IP when I edited posts.

Rule disabled, IP unblocked, all is well with the world.
