Weird DNS? Can browse LOTS except for eBay!?
-
So, I finally got around this past weekend to retire my old Smoothwall (ran solid for almost 10 years, never a problem) and I got my pfSense box up and running pretty quick as most do. BUT here is a weird issue; I don't do a crazy amount of web browsing, mostly the same handful of sites, paypal, craigslist, netflix, youtube, reddit, amazon, newegg, ebay, etc. AND out of all sites, and they all work and load super fast, (TWC 50Mb connection) eBay is super flakey for me. Sometimes it will load and then I'll come back 30-60min later and it will time out. I am using Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Anyone have a suggestion as to what else I can check? I'm running: 2.3.2-RELEASE-p1. Thanks for the help!

Forgot to attach.

Well, I've changed a few DNS entries and now I can get eBay to come up. Very strange, I was almost at the point of a re-install. I guess we'll have to see how things go.

Could have been an ebay problem?

DNS is only going to affect your ability to FIND ebay, not to connect to it. Are you sure it was a DNS problem?
Its easy to diagnose if pfSense can't find it - there's a DNS Lookup tool in the Diagnostics section. If it gets results, it should be working fine…
