Can't reach a site

Bravo guys, I was using Google DNS, forgot all about it. I had problems with ping a while ago so I tried with it.

What was 'insider' on then the ISP default?

Just checked, yes it's on auto.

Not surprised. Go with your ISP's DNS as a default. Very little benefit using Google's DNS unless you have an LG Smart TV.

Glad it's OK now.

Or you don't particularly want your ISP keeping logs of everywhere you've been...

FWIW I use 1.1.1.1 as my primary and 8.8.8.8 as my failover backup across the board (client devices, routers et al), both assure me they don't keep logs for more than 24 hours...

Same problem with 1.1.1.1.

Maybe your ISP has an issue with 'other' DNS then? Is there anything on their website to that effect?
I've never had a problem with either 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8. Different clients/routers, different locations, different ISP's.

I haven't seen that problem with any other site, BTW, VIP Mobile is my ISP, 4G wireless.

I have the same here in the UK, Three 4G as my main ISP (unlimited tethering). Maybe yours doesn't like anonymity for logging in to its accounts? From my phone I can't use wifi with my 3 account app, has to be over the mobile network (they state it on their website).
Maybe worth investigating more?

My phone (Lumia 640 dual sim Windows 10) is with same provider but separate account and has only 1GB for internet so when at home I use WiFi to connect to internet. I can also use SIM card from modem/router in the phone when I go out for longer time. I don't trust that free public internet that seems to be everywhere nowadays, bus stops, parks etc.
