need help troubleshooting site that won't open

I think I'm missing something simple, but I can't figure it out . I believe it's Firewalla induced but that may be wrong too.

I am testing an email services codamail.com and it seems that as of this morning (not sure I tried it yesterday) it won't open. Prior to that working fine for months. (codamail has been around 25 years, formerly known as 'cotse' I think).

setup

  • Firewalla Gold 1.68(89)
  • can ping codamail.com from the terminal just fine
  • can fire up a VPN (mullvad) connect to a NY server and then I can connect to Codamail just fine and open site and login.
  • I've tried three or more browsers, nothing works (unless I vpn) . Mostly I get connection "refused"
  • tried creating a firewalla rule to allow that site for all devices, didn't help
  • same issues in browser on phone
  • I don't see anything in firewalla "blocked" history
  • every other site I hit is working

In Brave Origin browser I get

>"This site can’t be reached codamail.com refused to connect ..ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"

In firefox I get

"Looks like there’s a problem with this site Firefox can’t connect to the server at codamail.com "

with ungoogled chromium I get same response as Brave.

Again, ping works (without VPN) so I don't think it's DNS related. Family Protect is not activated for either my laptop (Fedora linux) or my mobile (iphone).

Looking for other things to test? Maybe a target list situation of some sort?
