Can't Access a Web Page

Post by BobH »

Why would Firefox return the page below when the URL is correct and works on iPhone and iPad, and has worked on this computer in the past. The link is invoked from a bookmark that has not been changed.

I should add that, to my knowledge, the url is not on an black list. The only blocker I have is UBlockOrigin and it has no black or white list as far as I can tell.

Have you tried another browser, such as Edge or Chrome on your PC? A similar problem was reported a few weeks ago: Survey Links

I tried Chrome and Brave with the same result as using Firefox on Windows.

In each case I got a message saying the DNS couldn't be resolved.

I can reach the site using FIrefox on iOS. This is what has me puzzled.

Do you use different DNS servers on your IOS device?

Excellent question, Stuart.

The answer is that I don't know.
