Hi Bj”rn,

On 2025-10-10 10:32:51, you wrote to me:

Well something is blocking port 80 on IPv4 to your server. Maybe it's your 
provider? Or the server itself?

Telnet is just used to check if a tcp/ip connection on port 80 can be 
established...

Testing with curl gives the same result:

# curl -v eljaco.se
* Rebuilt URL to: eljaco.se/
* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
*   Trying 94.254.14.141...
* connect to 94.254.14.141 port 80 failed: Connection refused
*   Trying 2001:9b1:10d:77::52b...
* Connected to eljaco.se (2001:9b1:10d:77::52b) port 80 (#0)
....


Or wget:
# wget eljaco.se
--2025-10-10 12:48:39--  http://eljaco.se/
Resolving eljaco.se (eljaco.se)... 94.254.14.141, 2001:9b1:10d:77::52b
Connecting to eljaco.se (eljaco.se)|94.254.14.141|:80... failed: Connection

Bye, Wilfred.
