Specific Websites Not Loading on EE Only

mktom22 — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 09:39:48 GMT

Hi,

My employer's two websites, https://objectivestandard.org and https://theobjectivestandard.com/, will not load on my EE wifi, but will happily load on mobile data. There is no conceivable reason for them to be blocked, and I have reset the firewall and the router to factory settings. Are other EE users able to access them? What other things might be causing this? Obviously not being able to access my employer's website is a big problem for my ability to work.

Assuming you use Windows, is nslookup able to resolve those hostnames to IP addresses? https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/29184.nslookup-for-beginners.aspx

If not, do alternative DNS servers (e.g. 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) allow those names to be resolved?

Separately, can you access those servers directly using IP address?

To get round this issue try switching the DNS in the router away from EE's ones to Manual with 1 of these public DNS pairs:

OpenDNS   :	208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220
Google DNS:	8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 
Cloudflare DNS	1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1

I can get to both with at least 1 of these.
