    Reverse DNS (PTR) record on home fiber?

    Do any of the ISP's offer reverse DNS on home fiber packages? We use Vumatel + Cell C and the Cell C support staff did not know what I was asking for. Not really looking forward to switching as Vuma makes that a PAIN with the whole releasing of lines, but it is what it is. Also do any of the...

    Axxess Fibre DNS Issue

    DNS resolves fine using public third-party DNS servers (8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, 9.9.9.9, etc), but when using the ISP's automatic servers, queries seem to have all been failing today - wasn't an issue before. Is anyone else experiencing issues with resolving DNS through Axxess fibre PPPoE accounts...

    How to force network clients to use specific DNS server?

    I am a network administrator at a high school and after setting up a pi-hole to restrict access to certain websites I realized that some learners are able to bypass the settings by changing the DNS settings on their mobile phones to something like 8.8.8.8. I am running an Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS...

    Asus router DNS errors

    I recently bought an Asus RT-AC58U Wifi router as a replacement for a D-Link router that died. They seem pretty much the same with configurable settings and default setup. I have a fibre line with Vumatel and ISP with Afrihost. Ever since the upgrade I have been getting DNS errors, ranging from...

    Do any ISP's still provide capped data accounts without line rental?

    So I'm currently on an Openserve 40Mbit fibre line. In the past I used to have a backup 100GB Afrihost data account for the rare occurrence that Openserve shat the bed. Lately I'm been having issues with Openserve. At least once a week their DNS servers (I'm assuming) go to absolute ****, and...

    DNS

    Hi everyone, I'm currently with Axxess and I recently started playing around with some DNS servers (OpenDNS, Cloudlare, Quad9 etc) but for some reasons the connection tends to drop at random times for a few seconds. Has anyone else experienced this issue before?

    I have never really felt the need to change my default ISP dns settings but lately whenever i see a conversation about dns, it's always better to use a custom dns such as cloudfare's 1.1.1.1 or 9.9.9.9 or even Google's 8.8.8.8. So my question is, is there any real world benefit in changing all...
