I am trying to figure out why I cannot access a specific website from my office network. If I visit this site from another ip then there is no problem. I can visit also other websites hosted in the same server...
So I tried to tracert that domain:
tracert www.blocked_domain.com
and I see that tracert returns:
Tracing route to blocked_domain.com [40.85.93.65] .....
That ip is different from the one that I get when I perform whois on that domain. (The right ip is the one returned from whois)
If i run tracert for another domain which is hosted on the same server like blocked_domain.com I get the correct ip of the hosting server.
Any suggestions why is that hapenning? Why I can't visit this website from my office's ip?
UPDATE
If I configure hosts
file with the domain and the correct ip of the hosting server then I can visit the website without any problem

Have you asked your IT Administrator for assistance? Are you sure the problem is not the server configuration itself? Just because other sites on the server are properly configure does not mean the site your trying to visit is properly configured. – Ramhound – 2019-11-13T14:43:54.173
@Ramhound the weird thing is that I can visit the website from any other ip than my office's ip. There is no wordfence block or any block on the hosting server for my office's ip – netdev – 2019-11-13T14:45:34.243
Are you using the office network's provided DNS servers? What results do you get from
nslookup
for that domain? – user1686 – 2019-11-13T15:35:35.647
