[OT] Troubleshooting Bezeq Int'l problems

[E.S. Rosenberg]

I know for a fact that NV use fortigate (at least last I noticed it about a
month ago) and you can request it to be disabled/disabled selectively for
services.

On the errorpages depending on how much effort they stuck in them you may
be able to determine the vendor by looking at the source.
