I know I don’t want to use Foxtel, but apparently someone does. I’ve found an business that was unable to stream Foxtel. During the researching of the issue, I determined the CDN’s (Content Delivery Network) hostnames Telstra use. Below is that current list;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m fairly sure only the destination port of 443 is required, but I did end up going to all ports, due to not being aware of the final couple of new URI’s I discovered different to https:\/\/forums.whirlpool.net.au\/archive\/9rvj7r5n<\/a> shame I didn’t switch back to only https.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did contact Foxtel support explaining the issue, attempting to resolve the root cause of the issue – and release the incorrect IP block on the CDN – but I was told numerous times – that it’s obviously our internet provider. Sure, that’s what RST packets must mean!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Client sends TCP SYN<\/strong> to 23.211.125.112:443<\/code> (Akamai \/ Foxtel CDN).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Server replies with SYN\/ACK<\/strong> \u2192 TCP handshake established.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Client sends TLS ClientHello<\/strong> (wants to start Foxtel Go session).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. No ServerHello<\/strong> received. Client retransmits ClientHello several times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Server sends RST<\/strong> (reset) \u2192 connection forcibly closed.\n
