      set my subnet to something obscure

      randomly or do you own the address space?

          ubnet to something obscure like 203.128.45.0/24

          Yeah NOT a good idea at all, while technically you can do it - its a horrible idea to do that.. that space is owned by

          inetnum:        203.128.32.0 - 203.128.63.255
          netname:        SawasNet
          descr:          Beijing Sawas Technology Co.LTD.
          

          Whatever your doing your query to refused it.. You would have to look to the acl you have set on that NS your sending the queries too.

              @jrey yeah its horrible practice to just pull public space out of thin air and use it locally.. You have all of rfc1918 to use, there is zero reason to use public space that you do not own.

                  @swampland7794 I changed the DNS address to 1.1.1.1 and changed the subnet... I messed my home network and I don't have access. I'll fix it when I get home tonight and we'll see if that resolved my issue.
