Hmm, When I type http://www.tvg.com (*not*https) in a browser, I get
the following error message back:

>> ERROR
>> Access Denied

Sounds as if they do not allow access to their site from everywhere.
And I have the suspicion that in this situation an attempt to connect
to the https port is just answered with the same text instead of an
SSL handshake.
