jjschind Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 When using hotspot or tethering, and using Cloudfare or google DNS servers, I can no longer resolve most web addresses. But Sprint's DNS servers resolve addresses just fine. Is it just me or are others having the same issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible to actually use a third party DNS unless you use DNS over TLS or DNS over HTTPS. Or use a VPN. So it sounds like maybe something is broken with their redirection.Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjschind Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 That makes sense. Didn't know they forced everybody to use their own DNS. I guess I'll have to start using a vpn all the time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
