Existing4190··on TCP connection timeout mystery
You are right. My comment can't solve the whole story.

Still, some middlebox/stateful firewall/etc. messing with 169.0.0.0/8 is plausible.

Existing4190··on TCP connection timeout mystery
I'm suspicious about the IP 169.150.221.147 My guess: there is some misconfigured bogons IP filter and instead of 169.254.0.0/16 (rfc3927) there is something like 169.0.0.0/8 configured to be blocked on some firewall

I once was a customer of an ISP that mistakenly blocked the whole 192.0.0.0/8 net, which caused some confusion, but they fixed it after I pointed it out.

(/m enables multiline mode)
