Hi there

 

I have an issue when attempting to use the youtu.be shortcuts on Windows 10 desktop/laptop, Android phone/tablet.

 

e.g. For youtube shortcut (https:/youtu.be/8g18jFHCLXk) I get

 

This site can’t be reached

 

youtu.be unexpectedly closed the connection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Try:

 

 

ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED

 

 

 

 

 

However if I use the youtube full version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g18jFHCLXk) it works ok, taking you through to Youtube and showing the video.

 

Same thing occurs in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge.

 

On Android phone or tablet, clicking on the link from an email initiates the Youtube app and it plays ok. But if I copy the link to Chrome, I get the same issue.

 

Have tried rebooting the router/ONT, PC, clearing browser cache but no change so far. Any ideas t try next?

 

Thanks

 

Cliff

No idea why but it seems their DNS is resolving youtu.be to 203.96.208.40 (protect.vodafone.co.nz)

 

Maybe use third party DNS for now.
