Google services down...

Raymond Lin · 26 Jun 2023 at 21:52

I can't get Google services to work all of the sudden, kinda, at home. I am on Zzoomm fibre.

I have rebooted my router, I have tried it on Amazon TV, iMac and iPhone. When connected via wifi, can't load Google, Gmail or YouTube. Can't do google search. I can go direct to URL, like bookmarks.

The only fix is if I turn on VPN then everything works.

I tried pointing DNS to 1.1.1.1 on the Mac but that didn't work. Anyone know what's going on?

If it works via VPN, then it's almost certainly an ISP issue.

Must be, it works on 4G on my phone too.

But Twitch works, Netflix works, just seems to be Google related services doesn't.

BGP (which is what it sounds like) can be weird.

That was totally thread worthy. Bookmark this for 2023 top threads on OCUK. Should make the top ten.
