Report broken DNS node?
Hey all, I have found a broken DNS node thats run by virgin media. Any idea if there's a way I can report it? It's been broken for about a week now. Thanks in advance
The failing node (194.168.4.100) is the default DNS server for my router. Using any other standard DNS fixes my access to certain websites sites.
▶ dig +trace +tcp @194.168.4.100 https://racing-tv-webtv.pages.dev/android A

Working alternative route (using google's DNS).

I suspect the Websafe/Childsafe is blocking the DNS server, as it's a sports site? Turn off the filters and try again.
