Server IP-address or URL for Apple Weather
Just installed and configured Firewalla Gold in router mode. Now the Apple Weather app is no longer showing any weather data, claiming instead that 'No weather data found'. Using 'Emergency Access' on Firewalla for my iPhone, access was restored. My question then would be what URL or IP-address Apple Weather is using, or if there are any other requirements to be able to use it. I have searched the internet, but wasn't able to find anything.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions are welcome.

Some further investigation revealed OISD blacklist to to be the likely culprit. I started there, as it blocks the largest number of hosts. So I am going to leave it paused for the time being.
For those interested:
- The (tiny) lockscreen weather widget was able to update the weather data when the other widgets weren't.
- The (larger) homescreen widget was able to get data if I set the location manually (and yes, location services were on).
- The Apple weather app wasn't able to load any weather data at all.
Very strange, that.

Confirmed. So it was a bad coincidence that Apple had issues while I was trying to set up a new Firewalla. Here an external (german) link confirming this:
