y they wanna block me... I'm so sad :(

What about the solution that worked well for the last couple of thousand of centuries : ask them ? https://www.worldometers.info/contact/

actually not My IP that got blocked.
i have 3 pfSense over 3 different location, but all same ISP, maybe the ISP been blocked?
maybe i can ask https://www.worldometers.info/contact/ as u suggested :)

Still, not a real problem.
Thee letter solution : VPN ;)
( to get an IP that will work )

You can traceroute to 104.26.5.2 and 104.26.4.2 all right?
I suppose in the meantime you could add the IPs to /etc/hosts...no? Or is that what Host Overrides are for?
Can't hit the target by using the IP in the URL.
Just my 2 cents. Ignore as needed. :)

Bringing the name resolution to home would work.
The IP itself, the A record, is also not accessible for @hhoong.

There is some progress on the site : it's loaded up to the ceiling with Google adds now.
I had to stop pfBlocker to make it visible again.
It's probably not even a dedicated web server, but a shared web server .... just some private guy who build it's own site, as we all do or have done.
@hhoong : this site is just a small java counter with some html. Many other sites showing the same info exist, without obliteration the viewer with WoW publicity.

Wow, didn't know. Never seen an ad there. Thanks, pfB!

Shut down pfblocker and check for yourself.
80 % of the page are screaming adds.

edit : Nothing against adds .. but now I'm going to edit all my messages above to nuke the URL's. No need to bring that site more revenue for the cause it seems to represent.

edit2: @chpalmer is right after all ?

The destination doesn't really matter with this problem.. It could be a site for midget p0rn - doesn't matter what the site is..

Doesn't matter what the IP that returned is, or even if he can get to that IP.

The problem here is he can not resolve the name, and can not talk to clouldflare ns.. That are listed as the authoritative NS for this domain.

He can not query

Doesn't matter what he is trying to resolve, he can not resolve anything from either of those. He should be able to resolve their own names from them for example.

Who cares what the site he is trying to resolve is full of ads, etc... That doesn't matter in what the issue is. The owner of that server could be blocking him, doesn't matter since he can not resolve it anyway..

Gertjan

I fully agree, understand etc.

What the site world ... info shows isn't the issue here - it's not for me to somehow judge that.

I presume it's not even the site admin who's blocking the access to the (his) name servers here, but cloudfare itself.

As said : a VPN would be a solution here.

johnpoz

It could be his ISP, it could be cloudflare - don't know where the block is happening.. Or if not a block on purpose but some weird shit his isp is doing with dns queries, etc. etc..

He asked why he can not resolve that - the answer to that is he can not talk to the authoritative ns on port 53, he gets no answer.. just time out..

Since he is coming from 3 different sites, but the same ISP.. We still do not know if something his ISP is doing, something clouldflare is doing, etc.

He really should contact his ISP and ask them why he can not query these 2 name servers..

Unless its someone trying to get people to look at propaganda page. Click bate. That is a political page trying to push that the world is overpopulated and that governments should do something.

My network for some reason cannot reach this site.. https://www.improbable.com/teach/lessons2002/people-in-texas.html Maybe related..

( I know there would not be enough room to move around before you start typing)

johnpoz

Again its not about you getting to the site or not - its the fact of resolving it... That site is also cloudflare dns..

Can you not resolve it?

The site could be utter crap.. That is not the point.. There is one thing if he was using dns that did "filtering" and blocked it because it had xyz, or whatever.. But he is resolving, and trying to talk to the authoritative ns for that domain. Its not the ISP place to filter dns, unless they want to do that via their dns servers... He is trying to talk from his IP to some IP on the internet on port 53... Not his isp place to filter that, if that is what they are doing because they don't like whatever sites that NS my resolve..
