Does Swisscom restrict access to websites?

Are you using Swisscom DNS or something else? Try changing the DNS to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

Hello @Spartiaten

Here you can check whether Swisscom is blocking your website.

P.s the exam for me is that it is not blocked.

Hello @Spartiaten

You misunderstood @NilsL, you can enter a different DNS server in your network settings on the PC or in the router.

DNS server = (phone book directory where something died)

On the router, enter: 192.168.1.1 in the address line.

Then click on Network and then on Settings and further down you can change Swisscom’s DNS server to an alternative one.

I’ve been having exactly the same problem for a few days. But there are different websites that I can no longer open. These are Netflix.com, doodle.com, pcloud.com and many others. All pages are not blocked by Swisscom. Other pages can be opened without any problems. I can’t see what the criteria are for opening one page and disallowing another page.

What have I already done?

- Router, including Nokia 5G modem, restarted

- The firewall on the Internet box was changed from strict to standard

- tested on PC and two notebooks

- I whitelisted pcloud.com in the Malewarebytes antivirus program as an attempt.

- all Windows 11 Pro updates have been made - version 22H2 - the last one on January 10th.

- tested on Windows 10 and 11

If I operate the notebook with the 4G SIM card or turn off the WiFi on the iPhone and work with 5G, all pages can be accessed without any problems. Has Swisscom updated the Internet box that filters out certain websites? which applies new safety regulations?

Does anyone have an idea what I could do?

Thanks for an answer.

Hi @Spartiaten

There actually seems to be a worm in there somewhere, at least the traffic is going nowhere for me too - maybe @ChristianEb can locate it? 😉

(URL https://protiv-raka.org/ resolves to 91.239.233.24 for me, get to i00iev-005-xxx0-0-0×1.bb.ip -plus.net (138.187.129.29) ).

I can access this page without any problems and with all browsers.

I can’t access the site https://protiv-raka.org/ either via the Swisscom router or directly via 5G - like other sites - see my post.

I’m in the Canary Islands though. For me it works with and without a VPN.

Sorry, no, I have to correct myself: VPN doesn’t work for me either.

I don’t think this has anything to do with the router because it doesn’t have any filters built in. There must be something misconfigured in the Swisscom network.

Yep, I can’t reach the host using ping or any other means, hence the mention to @ChristianEb 😉

sorry, the above mention somehow didn’t appear for me, what a shame…

but thank you @r00t for triggering me!

For me, accessing the page works effortlessly from one of my prefixes, but not from the other, @Spartiaten Can you possibly tell me your IP from which you do this via direct message?

Greetings and thanks

@ChristianEb @Spartiaten

The site doesn’t work for me either, it searches and searches!!

Okay I see, depending on the source prefix, okay I’ll take a closer look, give me a little time please, @Spartiaten no longer need the source asked above.

Greetings and thanks for the tip

@icewater please address your problem in a separate post/topic, which seems to have no relevance to the case of @Spartiaten, thanks for your understanding!

@Spartiaten I’ll be happy to try to take your case further and will get back to you as soon as I’ve made further progress.

Probably Monday.

Greetings and thanks
