ISP blocking clintbellanger.net ?
Thursday, February 16, 2012 - 16:54
Seems like the DNS servers of the Deutsche Telekom AG (my ISP) are blocking clintbellanger.net. Can anyone else confirm this?
That's the result when trying dig via one of my ISP's DNS servers:
$ dig @194.25.2.130 +short clintbellanger.net
$
And that's the result when trying to dig via a free and uncensored DNS server:
$ dig @85.214.20.141 +short clintbellanger.net
216.69.174.19
As a temporary solution I've added clintbellanger.net to /etc/hosts.
I've already tried to contact my ISP about the issue.
Seems to be an issue with Clint's DNS hosting provider (same symptom locally and with Google's public DNS servers):
thisguy@hephaestus:~$ dig ns clintbellanger.net; <<>> DiG 9.7.0-P1 <<>> ns clintbellanger.net
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
thisguy@hephaestus:~$ dig @8.8.8.8 clintbellanger.net
; <<>> DiG 9.7.0-P1 <<>> @8.8.8.8 clintbellanger.net
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd

I'm using FreeDNS. They host a lot of domains and occasionally have to deal with DDOS attacks. I assume that's what's happening here.

My server's IP is 216.69.174.19 in case you want to access it directly.
So Flare can be found at 216.69.174.19/rpg
