About an hour ago the most popular rifle forum ar15.com went offline. Someone said Google was blocking their DNS.

Site seems fine now. Google can't block DNS requests for a specific website unless they're operating the DNS.

A lot of people use Google DNS, unfortunately.

In the UAE (Dubai) it was almost a requirement as vast parts of the Internet and underlying services are banned. Anything that can be used for communication - like discord and even multiplayer chat.
