DNS Problems & Question
September 14, 2024 | ProtectOurFreedom

Has anybody experienced DNS not resolving a business URL correctly?

I buy sleep apnea supplies from Verus Healthcare (www.verus.com). When I got to verus.com, DNS is resolving to LinkedIn! It is resolving to a specific person profile on LinkedIn, too, not just the general address for LinkedIn (it resolves to Joshua Schoen on LinkedIn). In fact, it is entering Joshua Schoen's name in the search box in LinkedIn.

I tried three different browsers on my Mac (Safari, Firefox, Chrome). Same results. I cleared the cache in the browsers. Same results in all three. I restarted my Mac. Same results.

Then I went to verus.com on my iPad (connecting via wifi in the house and same rhome outer) and it also resolved to LinkedIn.

So I thought I should restart my home router. But, before doing that, I thought I'd try my mobile carrier's data, so I disconnected my phone from the home network and switched T-Mobile 5G. Same results!! Using Safari on the phone over 5G and entering "verus.com" resolves to LinkedIn.

Change your DNS configuration on your PC network adapter away from your ISP (assuming that’s what you’re using) or go to https://servers.opennic.org/ and find a safe DNS server. 1.1.1.1 is Cloudflare. Stay away from Google (8.8.8.8)

Someone just paid for a DNS entry, or has one somewhere that directs it there. It’s kind of what the entire internet is based on.

They have the domain name forwarding to linkedIn for some reason. It’s done on the web sever of verus.com. Any domain name can be forwarded anywhere.

Thanks. I wrote to them a week ago about it but they never responded.

How weird for one of their IT people to set up a redirect to a random person at LinkedIn.
