194.168.8.100 has moved

Normally both 194.168.4.100 and 194.168.8.100 are 3 hops out but was doing a ping and found 194.168.8.100 was a bit higher then normal

    I have never used VM DNS servers, always Cloudflare. I now use encription by using Pi-Hole with the cloudflared addon app.

      Cloudflare DNS failed completely on Wednesday night at about 22.30. I had to switch to Google DNS for the remainder of the evening as 1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1 was not responding. Their service status page reported an outage in London which was rectified at around 02:00 Thursday morning.

    Yes I don't use VM DNS most of the time but I use it for pings and fail over rules
