Latest news: China Telecom shields some DNS services from Godaddy

Since July 16, users in some regions in China (mainly users of Xi'an Telecom and China Unicom in some regions) have reported to me that they cannot access my blog. After my test, I found that, the reason is that some telecom operators in some regions have blocked the DNS service of Godaddy, the DNS service provider of my blog, and some DNS servers of Xi'an Telecom have blocked some DNS services of Godaddy, this prevents websites that use Godaddy DNS from accessing Xi'an, including my blog.

Godaddy was founded in 1997 and is the No. 1 service provider in the world with a global market share of 18%. There are a lot of additional services for domain names, and the price is low. The average price is only half of the domestic domain name service. It is a very good domain name service provider, many website owners, including me, are using the Godaddy domain name registration service.

　　Shield DNS from adverse effects

China Telecom used to temporarily block the server address of Godaddy, but it has little impact on users who have purchased a website in Godaddy. This time, it directly blocks the DNS service of Godaddy, the impact is very bad. In order to "Punish" one or two websites, thousands of innocent websites are directly inaccessible. This is an extreme means of "killing one thousand by mistake and never letting them go.

Here I confirm that the blocked Godaddy DNS server has no. 57, 58, 67, 68, 77, or 78. If your domain name uses these DNS addresses, you need to change it to another DNS address, otherwise it will not be accessible from some regions.

 

 

 

　　User verification methods in different regions:

1. Click "start"-"run"-Enter CMD, and then enter ipconfig/all to find the dns server address you are using in the next "dns server.

2. Enter nslookup www.william long.info to check the DNS server IP address.

3. Enter nslookup www.william long.info 8.8.8.8 to use Google's DNS server for verification.

　　Solution for the website owner:

1. Switch to other DNS server addresses of Godaddy. Godaddy has many DNS servers, which cannot be blocked in a short time.

2. Switch to third-party DNS resolution services. Currently, many third-party websites provide DNS resolution services, many of which are free of charge. In China, DNS resolution services are also provided free of charge, using a third-party DNS service can partially solve the problem. Telecom cannot block all DNS servers in the world, which is equivalent to a LAN. At present, the moonlight blog chooses this solution, and it is estimated that it will take effect within one or two days.

In addition, it is not recommended to migrate the Godaddy domain name to China. If the domain name is migrated to China, it will not block the NS issue, but directly clientHold, and then it will be too late to cry.

　　Suggestions for netizens in Xi'an:

If users in Xi'an use DNS servers in Shenzhen, they can solve this problem temporarily. For a list of DNS servers from all over the country, see here.

In addition, Xi 'an Telecom's extreme practice, regardless of the user's Internet access rights, the DNS servers it blocks, use tens of millions of websites, such a one-size-fits-all management approach is really brutal, it is recommended that users in Xi'an make a complaint by calling 10000 of China Telecom's service phone for their legitimate rights and interests until Xi'an Telecom changes its errors.
