An option is for you to find an alternative public DNS server that listens on more than just port 53, and find one that you're not blocked accessing. Your own DNS server could be configured to forward external queries on that port, or you could use iptables rules. e.g. OpenDNS will also respond to port 5353 While service providers may think they're doing something of benefit by buggering with your network traffic, I've never found that to be the case. Censorship can obliterate wide areas of the net, not just one small problem. Trying to provide helpful alternatives instead of just failing with the correct error message causes its own set of problems. And many of these things are just so damn slow it's not funny. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
