Ok so i posted about this another time and now I’ve got a bit more info.
The network i am on (large campus network includes an animation studio) is not able to access blender.org. Which really sucks cos i cant post bug reports to the developer.blender.org section.
Furthermore there is nothing in the firewall that looks like it would be blocking it. Its timing out as well not instant block. Admin cant find anything!!
So question is there anything about the blender.org website that may be different than other websites that would perhaps cause this to happen with certain settings on the campus wide router?
This is so weird.
cant access it remember
