Phil Conners Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I've been using GoogleDNS since it was available, now today I suddenly get this message: Had to enable my proxy server to be able to use the Internet again. Yes I could perhaps have changed to use their DNS servers but I have a range of devices in my house using static (private) IP addresses and those all need to setup with explicit DNS servers. Hopefully they will change this idiocy again and I don't want to go around and change everything for nothing. And not a word about what to do if you happen to be using Linux or don't want to use DHCP or don't understand Thai. Why is it every time things starts to stabilize with thai ISP's some Somchai always have to get his finger out of his nose and start poking around changing things.

mightyharriss Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) surely it is illegal to block 3rd party DNS, I am sure Google will have something to say about it... It's bullshit.....does anyone know the correct DNS settings to use...? 3bb's DNS servers are shocking at best...... Unfuc_kingbelievable What happens if you've got a Mac..... absolute joke Edited August 2, 2011 by mightyharriss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'm using Google's DNS with no problem at the moment. 3BB Premium account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sulasno Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I tried to use OpenDNS and found that it is not working I forgot the command lines used to detect which DNS but I suppose you could google for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSteve Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 google DNS still working here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 I just checked and it works again now. I haven't heard back from tech support so I don't know what's the story. I'll update this thread if I get any information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygourmet Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Ditto... No problem here, in Nonthaburi, with 3BB premier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muratremix Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 You can always install a local copy of BIND dns server to your computer and use dns 127.0.0.1. Or, you can install that to your wireless router the one that supports dd-wrt / tomato and has enough space or usb port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 If outgoing port 53 traffic is blocked by 3BB I don't see how setting up a dns server pointing to localhost would help, anyway, it's open again so there are no issue anymore. Still no update from 3BB what happened and from experience I don't expect any either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I expect that it was just a 3BB router problem on part of your line. They seem to have a lot of these. I find that large sections of the internet just vanish off the radar completely from time to time here. Then a few minutes/hours/days later they come back again for no reason. Open a VPN and they all work perfectly all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
