The DNS issue still hasn’t resolved up here in Southern Maine. The only fix that works when the IP addy isn’t in the usual lookup tables is to hard code IP address into your hosts file. I bet your iPad will experience the same trouble, at some point.
Do not know if it will work for everyone but I couldn’t get FR at work today on my phone so I just went to Drudge and clicked the link there and it worked that way! Go Trump!
