If CC's use HTTPS from a machine to destination X:Y (where X is IP and Y is port), then to test you either need a complicated testing harness or just use telnet, which is the standard tool we all use. From the machine in question...
telnet X Y -

I asked them how I'm supposed to troubleshoot when they take away my layer 3 troubleshooting tools such as tracert (to show the hops = layer 3, right? )
That's correct, that's layer 3 (routing.) But what's expected to be the case is layer 4 (ports).

That took all day to post.

Wouldn't
test-netconnection destination:portwork as well for this, assuming @WrCombs is on windows? -

test-netconnection
Should, yes.

Good video.
The only addition I'd like to make is that you want to do ping first. Not primarily to see if its working or not, but to test DNS / hostname resolution.
If you ping abcxyz123.com and you can see that it's gets the IP address, you know that there you don't have a problem with the hostname resolution.
Next step after testing with (ping, telnet, wget etc) is to get serious and test tcpdump/wireshark. Basically recording network traffic to analyze what happens.
BTW, on windows telnet is not enabled/installed by default.

Hey I knew that one! lol I ran into that in the past, I just didn't know what telnet was used for.
