Hello,
I am not sure this is roscomnadzor's fault because it happens from
different networks in different countries. And Postfix is the only site
where it happens, among the ones I accessed in recent weeks.
From tcpdump, looks like no reply to TLS Client Hello is received

Hello,
Me and some other people have problems with accessing www.postfix.org
in normal (HTTPS) way. Non-HTTPS version http://www.postfix.org works
fine while https fails to connect and timeouts.
What might be wrong?
This is roskomnadzor's censorship and ruining the internet in a single
country. They block certain https patterns in a hope to block telegram
and vpns which tries to act "like" regular https, and they block certain
protocols for certain addresses completely.
It's rather interesting you haven't faced this earlier. A lot of places
doesn't work from ru netspace even if the resource itself isn't/shouldn't
be blocked directly. For example, wget https doesn't work in many places
because it "looks like" telegram mtproxy (or, rather, it does not look
like a regular well-known "whitelisted" browser), I can't git push to
gitlab (for the same reason), etc.
Thanks,
