DNS Problems on Excitel Broadband

[proton8454]

Can confirm, many websites are timing out

both blinkit & wikipedia are loading without any issue.

Just noticed that grofers.com is not even redirecting to the blinkit.com store.

And yeah, all seems well now. Even 1 3 3 7 x is loading. It was blocked earlier today.

Lol can't even access the forum without VPN right now on Excitel.

Seems like some major issue with an upstream provider, even telegram not working on vodafone data, though forum loads on it. My local isp also has this issue

worked for a while and gone again now lol.

Seems like some major issue with an upstream provider

Even on JioFiber, Telegram and Twitter are not working at the moment. I can't play Call of Duty: Mobile either. Seems like a major DNS issue now.

if it was a dns issue, it would be resolved with encrypted dns right? that does not help in this case it seems.

My local isp is also having issues now. Internet is working but some random sites not loading even with warp and atlas ripe went offline when internet was working. It's working now but there is some issue.

Hey there, @Sushubh
I'm having trouble figuring out how to use NextDNS on my excitel fibre connection, and since you previously stated that you use NextDNS on your excitel connection, I figured you'd be the best person to ask this question to. I'd be extremely grateful if you could assist me in resolving this issue.

 

[Sushubh]

Install NextDNS client on windows 10. Use native functionality on other platforms. Windows 11 I think now support encrypted dns.

@Sushubh Alright So, I won't be able to configure NextDNS natively on my router and will have to rely on device-specific apps instead. Thank you for your reply. 🙂

 

[Sushubh]

native would work if you have a router in the middle with that functionality. like something running openwrt. i just like it right on the device as it works on all wireless and cellular networks as well. plus you can switch on the go if the dns server is facing downtime. easier to troubleshoot.

plus with NextDNS, if you are using the free account for ad blocking and other features, router would eat up your api calls pretty fast. device configuration means that you can just create a bunch of free accounts and divide them between your devices.

the only advantage of having it on the router is that any new device gets it as well. so does your smart tvs which might not natively support encrypted dns. plus it made sense few years ago when native support was not available. now you can just configure it on chrome and firefox directly. all major operating system other than windows 10 support encrypted dns now i believe.

I wanted a good DNS provider for my router (I'm currently using a TP-Link Archer C6), so I'll look into the settings to see if it supports encrypted DNS.

 

[Sushubh]

i do not think native firmware of c6 has encrypted dns support.
