        Use the code box

        Can you ping the IP even?

        $ ping collins.ns.cloudflare.com

        Those NS are the authoritative NSers for that domain - so no if you can not talk to them, then you wouldn't be able to resolve stuff they are authoritative for..

            Well I would say something is blocking port 53 to them then, either on your end, or the ISP or cloudflare themselves - or something between.

            But if you can not query them - then you can not resolve stuff they are authoritative for.

            Are you forcing traffic out a vpn connection? What part of the world are you in - is it one where they dick with dns queries?

            Can you query them for something else? Say for example.

            $ dig @collins.ns.cloudflare.com cloudflare.com
            
            ; <<>> DiG 9.16.1 <<>> @collins.ns.cloudflare.com cloudflare.com

                Well that would seem to be a problem then with them.

                You for whatever reason can not query them for dns - so no you wouldn't not be able to resolve anything that they are authoritative for..

                Can you get to https://www.cloudflare.com/

                even - maybe they don't like your ISP and are blocking them ;) Do you get a captcha when you try and access?

                  thanks for the info :)

                  i guess now the only way for me to able to query www.worldometers.info is to enable forwarding in my DNS resolver.

                  i can access to https://www.cloudflare.com/ main page,

                    Could the ISP be blocking DNS to any servers but their own?

                      No since from his trace he talked to roots, and the affiliates.. He got told where to go for his domain in his trace.. He just can't seem to get there.

                        I'm not sure but overall my DNS resolver was working, i just notice this www.worldometers.info not working for now, not sure of any other that is not working.
                        But base on what u said, maybe all that register under @collins.ns.cloudflare.com, most likely i not able to query ...

                          No you would not be able to resolve anything that you can not talk to the authoritative NS for.. When you resolve you directly talk to the authoritative NS for that domain.. If you can not get to any of them, then anything they are authoritative for would fail to resolve..

                          That is how resolving works.. You get the info straight from the horses mouth - if you can not talk to the horse, then yeah you going to have a bad day.

                          I would get with your ISP to be honest, and ask them why you can not query that NS.

                              Ask your ISP why you can not query that ns or the other one listed.

                              moura.ns.cloudflare.com

                              You can ping them - so you have connectivity to them, so why no query on 53?

                                i don't think they will entertain me, they would ask me to use DNS forwarder and point to them.

                                do pfsense resolver support DNS over SSL/TLS for outgoing to root DNS? if can, what if i enable?
                                i dont seem to able to find that option.

                                  SSL/TLS for outgoing to root DNS?

                                  No doesn't work that way... Every single NS on the planet would have to support tls for something like that to work.. And GAWD would be be horribly slow!!!

                                      Well if you have only found that specific one - you could prob just do a domain override to send that domain to wherever..

                                          But if you can not talk to those specific ns for cloudflare, its possible you can not talk to others. Also I would "assume" that those ns are used for more than just that specific domain.. So there could be others that you can not resolve - that you have just not found yet.

                                          So while a conditional forward would allow you to resolve this specific domain, you could have things that don't resolve later that you have just not run across yet. So it would be a wack-a-mole game.. The root of the problem is you can not talk to those NS for whatever reason via dns query.

                                            This one :

                                            @johnpoz said in Unable to Resolve www.worldometers.info:

                                            moura.ns.cloudflare.com

                                            and it's brother collins.ns.cloudflare.com are most probably servers or VPS hosted by cloudflare. To me, it like they are dedicated servers that have as a role : a name server.
                                            But they are managed by a private person, because :
                                            Double; identical A records are returned.
                                            Both name servers are in the same AS : that a DNS bad practice.
                                            "cloudfare" should never done that.
                                            And private person means : a trigger happy server with fail2ban, DNSBL software ....

                                            This ll boils down to : you got yourself probably blacklisted - or worse, your (ISP) WAN IP is on some blacklist, used by the guy who operates worldoyyyymeters.info.

                                            edit : I just had a look at what that site www.worldoyyyyymeters.info is ... a Corona counter ... 😨

                                            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                                            Edit : and where are the logs ??
