Only useful if you have had trouble connecting to eBay.

The test now checks where your server thinks we are

Everything the test measured before was about what came back. None of it established where the requests were actually going.

A server that looks our address up incorrectly produces exactly the same readings as one being blocked by a firewall: our addresses all unreachable, unrelated sites perfectly fine, and a security page belonging to whichever machine it reached by mistake. The two are indistinguishable from the outside — and only one of them involves anybody's firewall.

The test now reports which address your server resolves ours to, before it tries anything. If that address is a private one, or your own server, it says so plainly: the requests never left the building, and nothing needs unblocking.

Also fixed

A successful name lookup could be counted as the connection service having answered, because the test sorted its checks by elimination rather than by name. On a store that could not connect at all, it would have reported a working connection on the strength of a DNS query.
