CloudFlare DNS doing strange things

Sebastian_64 · May 15, 2018

I used CloudFlares 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 DNS servers on my router at home and I had a strange issue with the DNS servers. Some websites were not accessable at times but then other times they were accessable. The websites affected included now.dstv.com and etoro.com. The reason I suspect it is the DNS is that as soon as I changed the DNS from CloudFlares to my ISP's DNS then the issue was no longer. After a brief google search I didn't seem to find anyone else having the same issue so I brought the issue here.

Check a DNS leak site to make sure that you are using the right DNS.

bajgur :

The issue seemed to occur during 9-5 hours, GMT +2 is my timezone if that helps.

I am not too familar with DNS Leaking I did a bit of research as to what it is. I am using Google's DNS at the moment on my modem and the leak test reports DNS coming from Belgium with the ISP being Google and the IP addresses being 74.125.47.6.
