Hello,

 

I just trying to troubleshoot a few issues recently. I'm using a smart DNS and have moved recently to 2degs from Spark.
Does anyone here actively use a smart DNS with 2D wihtout any issues?
I have updated DNS in my Fritzbox in both locations (account) & Network Settings but there appears to be a  substantial drop in "loading" time.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Jim

It's pretty certain your problem is because 2Degrees uses CGNAT by default, and you no longer have a unique external IP address. Your Smart DNS service will need to know it's really you using their service so with Spark you will have had a static IP or  a dynamic IP that could be updated at your Smart DNS service using one of a number of methods.

 

With 2Degrees CGNAT, you effectively share an IP with several others. You'll need to contact 2Degrees and advise them. They'll either give you a static IP for $10 a month or maybe a free one if you ask nicely and advise what's happening to you.
