Website https://www.attorneyfirst.com/ is not working from any azure based VM

Question

The website https://www.attorneyfirst.com/ is not working from any azure vm based network, I tried from many different, they are all azure based, but got no luck, I get a blank page only from many different browsers, any azure VM does not resolve the website actual IP addresses, the website works from any computer which is not hosted on azure, tried to adjust the host file to resolve the correct IP, but did not work as well, Any Suggestions ?

Hi Joe,

I recommend you contact support for [www.attorneryfirst.com] and ask why you are getting a blank page. If you use developer tools inside of the browser you can see it doesn't make as many requests when the page is loaded inside of Azure VM.

It appears the site does not work from Azure IPs or free VPN IPs. I tested, and inside of Azure VM, the page is loading, it is just a blank page. If you examine the certificate, you can see the thumbprint matches the thumbprint for their site if loaded outside of Azure VM.

I tested with different free VPN extensions inside of Azure VM, and the site still didn't load properly from different regions/IP addresses. I also tested with one of the same free VPN extensions on my local PC, same selected region, and the site no longer worked when using the VPN. The site works fine from my local PC when not using free VPN.

I tested with Window 10 and Windows Server 2019 Azure VMs, and it didn't work with either one.

nslookup for the site resolves to the same IP addresses whether inside or outside of Azure VM in my tests.
