I tried to connect to www.eftps,gov to make an estimated tax payment
yesterday, and all I got was timeouts. Same today, even though it's
too late to make a payment for today.
Anyone else able to get through lately?

It works for me. What browser are you using? Sometimes when I have

a problem with a website chrome will get there when explorer won't
(though I don't have that problem with this site).

A trivial point, but the URL you have posted is

"www" "period" "eftps" "COMMA" "gov"
and if this was a cut-and-paste from the
browser window that was getting the timeouts,
maybe your browser was timing out while trying
to connect to a non-existent site?

Yes, that was a typo.
I figured it out -- I have an IPv6 tunnel set up that gives me an IPv6
address that appears to be in Montreal, and it didn't like that.
When I switched to IPv4, or used a proxy with a US IPv6 address, it
works. Go figure.

I'm using Chrome on MacOS, just tried it and it works fine.
Note the message you're responding to was from three and a half years
ago. They fixed the problem shortly after I sent it.

I hope you looked for www.eftps.gov and not www.eftps,gov.
