Any idea about why, sometimes, DNS over UDP might fail with a specific ISP?
So, I have been having random problems with the network at home and, you won't believe that, after hours researching it, turns out it was DNS. Surprise. The problem is that, apparently, my ISP, or my ISP's router, is dropping UDP packets, or failing.
