    Is this the ISP's DNS at fault?


    We have two routers in our house, one is for a sort of VPN (smartdnsproxy), which is hardwire ethernet connected into the router supplied by our ISP

    Several times a day when I type a url then "not found". Using a command window I type ping (whatever.com) and back comes
    Ping request could not find host whatever.com. Please check the name and try again.
    So I change to the wifi from vpn-router and I get connected.

    I don't want to use the "vpn" too much, just seems like poor security to me

    This has to be our ISP's unreliable dns doesn't it? So I should login to their router and choose a different dns? Which? DNS1 and DNS2 or just 2?

    Thanks

    :)

    Can I circumvent my ISP blocking my chosen DNS servers?

    First, consult your ISP's technical folks, and ask why.

    If they provide an arbitrary or irrelevant answer, look for alternate DNS providers they don't block.

    Once they block all satisfactory alternate DNS providers, change your ISP. or as suggested by Daniel B, use an encrypted DNS proxy.

    Is this the ISP's DNS at fault?

    computer is correctly configured but dns server not responding windows 10

    We already provide the basic steps for us to change the DNS server. We suggest to contact your ISP service provider for them to configure and provide the exact DNS server.

    Don't hesitate to contact us if you do have another concern.
