Set your own dns server address to: 8.8.8.8. Googles dns servers. Surprisingly, they don’t black anyone.

The Greek Orthodox Archidocese of America (goarch.org) is also completely down; inaccessible by Comcast or through cellular data.
What major superpower is engaged in a geopolitical power struggle and sometimes uses as its proxy the Russian Orthodox Church?

VOIP...part of the package.
And a backup for the cellular.
Redundant systems are part of preparedness.

Hello, this is customer service...
Did you try turning it off and turning it back on?

I had to bypass Comcast DNS with a VPN to get to 4-chan and the Q archive pages.
No doubt using any VPN angers my DOD monitors but screw ‘em. It’s my home, my Internet account, my computer.
Of course the DOD could also say it’s my ass, come with us. I’m too old to care anymore.

Ever since the CIA was exposed for creating a way to make it seem like Russia hacked what the CIA had actually hacked, I'm less likely to jump on the Russia Russia Russia train. There's a reason why the DNC targets Russia. I think in part it's to hide their ties to China China China.

Did that right away...usual diagnostic pattern.
Anyway, all access seems to be restored.
There was something going on bigger than Comcast when these sites were unable to be reached through other ISP paths.

DNS is one of the easiest things to customize and reconfigure to bypass ne’er-do-well ISPs.

Find local DNS servers and plug them into your computer or home network. Most of them don’t catalog queries, so you can browse much freer than Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1).

I agree with your statement in post #9.
I think of them every time my computer or phone does an update.
Don’t mind them listening to my calls or monitoring me. Just wish they woul stop dropping calls and slowing signal.

That’s kind of a leap. Someone living rent free up there in your brain?

I'm going to write this up since a lot of people don't know this.
While the Google 8.8.8.8 servers are pretty good, you can run your own DNS fairly easily. What you are looking for is your own 'recursive DNS server', preferably one that caches. There are several ways to approach it.
- Run 'Unbound' on your computer, then point your DNS to 'localhost'. Unbound is a very high grade DNS server software and can be found at this address (https://nlnetlabs.nl/projects/unbound/about/).
- Run a custom router or router firmware that includes ir can include something like Unbound (PFSense, OPNsense, OpenWRT).
- Keep your router, but add an additional appliance like a 'PiHole' to your network to act as your DNS (and also can kill a lot of ad stuff as well). PiHole is a piece of software that is traditionally run on a Raspberry Pi single-board computer. This is a pretty straightforward issue if you are a little computer-savvy, but the Raspberry Pis themselves are in an availability crunch right now. Good luck!

Oh, the IP address for ‘localhost’ is always 127.0.0.1 (this always refers to the current computer).
