Can someone on Contact Energy fibre please try accessing https://www.friendsoftheaviary.co.nz for me ? Even if not on Contact, a quick test would be appreciated :D

 

Friend on Contact cannot get to the page I setup for them, yet it appears fine on Quic and overseas DNS check sites. She has tried 3 diff devices on her connection but no difference.

 

TIA :)

DNS issue, changed DNS servers to Devoli  14.1.33.1, 14.1.33.20 & I couldn't access it. Tell your friend to change DNS servers to Cloudflare, Google or Quad9.

Contact Energy Fiber in manawatu, I can reach site fine. 

 

I am a DNS noob, I am using auto settings. 

 

Google states I am using the following, not sure if this helps.

 

US CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc. 198.41.236.72

 

NZ DEVOLI-AS-AP Devoli 103.13.117.58

Yeah you are using Cloudflare DNS servers, set either on your computer manually or router. If you are curious you can run nslookup google.com in command prompt & see what shows up under server. If DNS servers set to auto on computer, will show router address otherwise will show 1.1.1.1 or 1.0.0.1 if set on computer.

I am not too fussed as long as it works tbh.
I do rent, so a flatmate could have changed the router, 90% sure it isn't my PC, checked the IP4 & IP6 settings. 
This was from CMD. 

 

nslookup google.com
Server:  NF18ACV.Home
Address:  192.168.20.10

 

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
Non-authoritative answer:
DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
Name:    google.com
Address:  142.251.221.78

 

Ipconfig

 

Ethernet adapter Ethernet 3:

 

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : Home
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::3058:9703:6e0:98c1%8
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.20.12

                                       192.168.20.10

 

Anyway, this is getting slightly off topic, hopefully,

 

OP has gotten some information that might help from another Contact fiber users.

Yeah this is off-topic, was just wondering how you can be using Cloudflare on auto settings. OP's issue is because of Devoli DNS servers
