I have a persistent problem with the twitter plugin on streaming tweets:  
Logstash instance runs correctly with no logged errors, but it **does not catch tweets only on a specific network**. It works on any other machine with the exact same setup and configuration, just not on the one where it should. The setup used to work fine, but suddenly stopped working. I am not an administrator of the network, but must figure out what changes need to be done.

Are there certain ports that need to be opened? I had the port 9600 opened (logstash API endpoint) but that did not help.

I have tried two different logstash versions, 2.4.1 and 6.2.2. and they both have the same behavior. Log output is the same regardless, as in error free. If I use wrong credentials or hit rate limiting, I get an error from Twitter API. But no tweets on this one machine.
