Can't connect to some websites from AVD
We can't connect to hcahealthcare.com, or any of their other domains, from our AVD environment. HCA claims that they're not blocking any IP addresses and that they have other clients accessing their ...

From which region are you connecting? It seems it's being geo blocked on the site itself.

From the US. Do you have the ability to test from within your own AVD environment? I'm just wondering if somehow they're blocking all AVD connectivity.

I'm redirected to this url from belgium: https://geo-blocked-site.azurewebsites.net/- nunyabusinessApr 19, 2023Copper Contributor
Johan_Vanneuville This is probably a silly question, but if I do a diagnostics test, is that functionally the same as a traceroute? I'm asking because if I perform a diagnostics test from AVD and view hop-by-hop details, I see my virtual machine, network name, 2 virtual networks, and the destination (hcahealthcare.com). But I see traffic up to Level 3 in Nashville if I perform a traceroute from my laptop at home. Even if HCA's web server is rejecting AVD traffic, I would think it would still show traffic up to Level 3 before it gets rejected by HCA in the hop-by-hop details.
