DNS Issue (Sites not loading)

[akashk]

I am unable to access some sites from yesterday and all sites are loading very slowly while using default Airtel DNS and can't change DNS in router(locked by airtel).

Using Cloudflare as private DNS in android phone solves the issue.

Airtel thanks and Airtel Fiber app show issue as "issue in line" and "issues found in browsing" and ask me to raise a SR.

Any way to change DNS in router or any other workaround?

Try factory reset or specify dns in dhcp.

personally i think it's best to configure private dns on individual devices.

Tried factory resetting but same issue again.
I think it is also because of ipv6 cause disabling ipv6 resolved the issue

I am facing the issue since yesterday, before that everything was fine

doesn't matter. it's good to switch to private dns irrespective of whether the regular airtel dns is working fine or not.

it's a small tiny step that improves your online privacy a bit and does not take a lot of effort to set up. and almost has no downside.

I am facing a exact same issue. Using a VPN fixes it. How to solve it?

I mean it's already mentioned above that switching to private dns sort of fixes this problem?

There are two solutions for now.
1. Disable ipv6 2. Use private DNS

Google Cloudflare OpenDns, or make your own PiHole.
