I'm getting a generic "can't connect to server" error when trying to visit www.gog.com, but isup.me reckons everything's fine. Is this a Quic issue or a me issue? It was happening last night as well.

Thanks for checking. I'll reboot everything later and see what happens.

Can you please confirm which DNS servers you're using? I was using Quic's, but I switched to 1.1.1.1 and GOG popped back to life.

It's also loading fine for me with Quic DNS servers.

Thanks. dig is giving the same results here (for the four servers you tried) and I've confirmed that DHCP has put me on 103.250.90.8, yet the site doesn't want to load on any computer on my network. If it's just the one site - as it seems to be so far - then I'll just see whether it comes right in a day or two. I have 1.1.1.1 as a workaround in the meantime.

If you do a trace, what BNG are you going through ? I can access GOG fine via BNG2.

That doesn't look too good! Meanwhile, with 1.1.1.1:

This is a bit beyond my knowledge at this point.

Sorry for the late reply! Using Quic DNS here, too.

 

Edit: Traceroute from my end:

 

 

 

steven@util:~$ traceroute www.gog.com
traceroute to www.gog.com (118.215.88.211), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1  rtr01.omg.geek.nz (192.168.100.254)  0.487 ms  0.414 ms  0.376 ms
 2  bng1-akl1.vetta.net (103.243.102.32)  2.019 ms  2.001 ms  2.390 ms
 3  xe1-2100-146.pe2-akl1.vetta.net (103.243.102.96)  2.349 ms  2.427 ms  2.670 ms
 4  et21-00-501.core1-akl2.vetta.net (103.243.102.135)  2.523 ms  2.057 ms  2.263 ms
5  as20940.akl.ix.nz (43.243.21.53)  5.735 ms  5.718 ms  5.687 ms

 

Nothing of note after hop 5, ICMP appears to timeout after then, but not overly concerning.

For what it's worth, a week or so later this is still happening (using Quic DNS 103.250.90.8).

The fact the traffic is stopping at your static IP is really odd - almost like the IP is being sinkholed somehow.

 

Can you post the route table of the device your static IP/WAN connection is terminating on?

Going a bit beyond my knowledge here. Is this what you're looking for? Router is a Synology RT6600ax, mostly using default settings.

Bingo!

 

 

Remove this route. No idea why/how it's there, but this rule is telling your network not to send traffic destined to 118.0.0.0/8 to the outside world (which 118.215.88.211 is within).

 

Let us know if this fixes it up. 😊

Thanks! Looks like we've tracked it down :)

 

Now... any Synology users here who know how to get rid of that entry? The IP Routing Table window only lets you view, not edit. It's accessed from the Static Route tab, but the table in there is blank, and I can't find any other references to 118.x.x.x in any of the other windows/tabs.

Just a thought... If you're using DHCP and it's a dynamic route, check your DHCP client and see if there's a manual subnet mask set. Subnet mask should be 255.255.255.255 (/32 route).
