Its Always DNS!!!

Wow never has there been a truer System Administrator Truth. I can’t tell you how many problems I’ve seen that end actually being caused by a DNS problem.

Just last week the internet ground to a halt while I was at home on my iPad. After getting up and checking the cable modem and the router I finally realized I had a perfectly good internet connection it was just for whatever reason 1.1.1.1 had stopped responding to DNS requests for me. Changed back to Google and the problem went away.
