I can ping and get a response to 212.224.102.133 but I don't see any web page.
I am really not sure what you mean by changing local (router's) IP. I assume you mean hard coding steemworld.org to be a specific IP, but I get the correct IP I just can't ping it. DNS works and resolves to 37.17.224.60 it just doesn't accept traffic.
I mean the router's external IP but normally that can't be the reason, because that would mean your provider does not allow returning the packet to your IP, which would not make much sense (and as you said, my hoster upgraded something, not the whole world). But I'm still wondering how @pixelfan solved the issue by resetting his router...
The 37.17.224.60 is reachable from all over the world but not for all. I've never experienced such a strange networking issue.
I'm now in contact with my hoster... If they can't find anything by tomorrow, I will move SW to my dedicated server ;)
That's the last successful hop.

I am one of SteemWorld's faithful users using it from the United States. In Chrome, Brave, and MSIE (Edge) internet browsers the link to steemworld.org does not work (This site can't be reached) on my desktop and laptop through the Cox Communications ISP. However, I am able to reach steemworld.org on my Android phone's Chrome browser using the VerizonWireless network.
I took your advice to try the TOR browser on my desktop and laptop computers. Using the TOR browser I am able to access and use steemworld.org.
Thanks for the update and I hope my data point above helps you diagnose the issue.
Steem on,
Mike
Thx for the update, I will use the local version from now on.
Maybe you should switch your hoster...
On mobile it works, on desktop it just is not reachable.
I will download the local version and use the tor browser as backup.
It's just crasy... not strange...
