My Creative Cloud 2018 cannot connect to activation service, and pinging the server from this page shows "Bad request" error. Does anybody have same issue?

After clearing cookies, ping link started working. However, Creative Cloud application still fails to connect ("Unable to reach Adobe servers. Please check your firewall settings, time settings, and retry").
