I did manage to find the old comp.networks group but it's not well attended. https://groups.google.com/g/comp.networks When I have networking questions, I try to narrow them down to a specific area. For example, if it's about Ubiquiti routers, I'll post on the Ubiquiti forum. If it's an OpenVPN issue, I end up posting on that forum. If it seems like a networking issue in Debian, here is very appropriate and there's lots of experienced folks here. But where to post some general networking issue that's not specific and you are completely in the dark as to where to start, yah I sure, start here if you're using Debian on at least one thing you can't get to the network. I wouldn't ask an Android or windows question here but if say your problem occurs on Debian and not on Android, yah very appropriate to ask here. In relation to your question which seems like it's Android related, I'd see if it also happens if you access thoses sites in Debian. If yes, then it's a general problem. If no, then I'd probably post on a forum like the Andronix Forum. If both, then this is possibly something with the internet connection or wifi router. Many router manufacturers and ISPs have help forums. Thing is, these days, there's so much networking stuff out there that if there is an active general networking help list (which there may be and I haven't found it), it'd probably have so much chatter on it that it may not be useful. One needs to narrow down the scope at least a bit to find some forum which might help, even if someone points you to another forum which ultimately helps you. Without more info, I'd say you may have some DNS resolution problem. Is there some firewall blocking access to some sites? Are you using anything like Pi-hole, VPN, or some browser extension which might be trying to do some weird VPN like stuff? What happens when you try with something running Debian? Can you narrow it down to a sitiation where it always works and one where it always fails? Michael Grant
