I'm not sure, i haven't reset my router....but, if I use the DNS4me DNS servers, all websites are loading ok.

But, changing to the voyager dns servers.... i'm getting a lot of website failing to load errors.

I'll reset my router at some stage, maybe it is just me.

voidtools seems fine for me with Voyager DNS.

With that said... a few nights ago I had a 'micro-pause' where a game continued to work but I couldn't open any sites. About 30 seconds later, everything sprung back to life. That was potentially a DNS issue.

OK, thanks, will reboot the router at some stage...kids doing their auckland uni work just now.

will reboot the router

This is something I see mentioned a fair bit, but does it ever actually do anything? I'm struggling to think of a single case in the fibre era when it's helped...

True, my fritzbox is rock solid. I guess rebooting might help to clear any dns caches perhaps.

I have just rebooted , and nothing is fixed.... metservice is down, for example. I thought changing dns server fixed this, but, it stopped working under the new dns server....

Including my iphone, metservice not loading when connected to my local lan.....when i disconnect from the lan, it is working again.

Something weird going on.

MetService is taking some time (5-10 seconds) to open here, but it does get there.

Which dns servers exactly are you using?

I've tested your examples and they look good to me...

The voyager DNS servers (although tested with dns4me too)... it has all just started working again in the last minute or so......including from my iphone and windows... something with my connection. Oh well, good to go :)

Hmm ok, feel free to flick me your details and i'll take a poke.

I'm not tagged as Voyager to be clear, but do work for Voyager NOC - I should probably bug MF about this at some stage :)

Sweet, all good. sing out if it acts up again and i'll give it a poke.

Haven't seen anything that would indicate a fault, so could be last mile related...

Metservice have been part of the recent DDoS attacks so that might be the explanation.
