@ShawnCao Thank you for that info. Are you having issues with any other sites, or just when going to that specific site?

I no longer work for Comcast.

Yes. I tried many browser and different PC. Seems like my home network is blocked to many China site. This happened before usually when China has big events. usually it can be back to normal in a couple of weeks. But this time is especially long and no sign to get back. All the sites can be access if using VPN. Seems like some sites from China will detect certain ip from US and block it? You know the great fire wall can do many things. Is that possible? Can you use my ip to test? Is it possible to switch my ip address? Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback! If your modem and router are separate, unplug your router from the modem. Power cycle your modem and then plug in another ethernet device to the modem, once Comcast sees the mac address of the new device, you'll get a new IP.

Do you mean I need to switch my router's mac address to get a new IP?
