Still don't know if it's ip, dhcp or dns.

It’s not DNS

There’s no way it’s DNS

If the test passes, all of these are fine. If it fails, well, you got to dig then.

DNS may not be fine tho. You may have ddg cached

There is also lite.duckduckgo.com and html.duckduckgo.com for javascript free variants

[-] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 2 points 2 months ago
