I have a nexus player setup with smartDNS to watch hulu from outside US everything was working fine but all of a sudden hulu was not opening saying I am outside US, first I thought it was the DNS problem but tried from different devices and it was working fine, I got an idea of downloading a browser and checking the DNS on the provider website, I found out it ignores my manual DNS settings I added.
I tried everything even wiped everything and started from a clean configuration and it won't work, My ISP disables the DNS change on the router level so I cannot do that.
Any ideas???

I should note I am running CM6.1 RC2
So, I had the strangest thing happen this morning. I went to my in-laws for thanksgiving dinner and put my G2 on their wifi. It worked fine last night, but this morning after a few moments I am having very bizzare behavior over the wifi connection.
What seems to be happen is that the DNS lookup requests seem to fail when using the android apps. Now, for some reason, the wifi calling app connects, and I can place calls over wifi, but I can't use any other applications for data.
Here is where it gets weirder. If I ping an address, it works just fine, and then, since the dns resolution is cached, I can go to that domain in the browser, however any links that leave that domain do not work.
I have tried several things, setting a static ip address, using different DNS addresses (the router, and then google's dns addresses). Nothing seems to be working. I have also rebooted the router. Other device on the network are able to connect just fine.
The funny thing is that data works fine over the cellular network, of course there is only edge out here, and somewhat spotty coverage at that, but things seem to work just fine.
Any thoughts on what the issue might be?
Thanks!
Well, I ended up fixing it by doing a nandroid backup, restoring and clearing the dvalik cache. Weird.

Hello guys, sorry for my improving English.
I use a router running shibby's tomato firmware and using HE.net's IPV6 tunnel. When my Nexus 4 running 4.2.2, everything was OK. But after it install the 4.3 update, I found it losing IPV6 connection. When connect to WiFi, it goes fine at first, and some times later (e.g. 1 hour or so), when connect to a IPV6 site (e.g. ipv6.google.com), it keeps waiting for network. At this time, if I open the router's web page using it's WAN IPV6 IP, it works and ipv6.google.com opens. After a longer time (when I wake up in the morning), it can connect to no IPV6 hosts, even try to connect to my router using it's IPV6 link-local address (fe80:.........).
I flashed back to 4.2.2 and everything works again. My desktop and other devices works fine.
When I enabled LTE on my phone, I followed the instructions exactly, which said to enable IPv4/6 on your APN settings. When I did this my phone behaved normally, except Facebook stopped being able to load certain content such as pictures.
After researching for a bit and even discovering that I couldn't go to facebook.com in Chrome on my phone, I realized it was IPv6.
I have since shut it off and my phone is behaving normally now.
I suggest you just go into your APN settings and select IPv4 only. T-Mobile is apparently ready, but a lot of other providers (such as Facebook) aren't.

facebook claims its ready, but ive noticed that they have issues. until about a month ago, i had issues posting photos from their website via my n4, now it works(most the time). try changing the user agent of your browser to desktop.
I wasn't sure where to put this, but the issue started with the nexus player, so I figured I'd try here.
My girlfriend and I were watching a TV series on netflix, on my nexus player, when it started having a connection problem. I've had my nexus for about 6 months and have never had an issue with it before.
I can get onto netflix on the nexus player, and browse the titles, but as soon as I try to play something, it tells me my device may not be connected to the internet. If I do the network test, it shows a good test for all 3 netflix servers, and the internet connection. I can watch netflix on my laptop just fine over wifi, but of course, if I try to stream the tab.... it opens the netflix app which says it can't connect. (I tried uninstalling the netflix app and streaming the tab, but it just tells me I need to install the netflix app)
Finally I tried installing netflix on my galaxy S5, and it also wouldn't stream anything, until I turned off wifi.... then it worked fine. I have tried everything I can think of and have read to try to fix this. I've changed my router to send default ISP DNS servers to devices, I've tried setting google DNS servers, I've checked time zone settings, I've cleared netflix app data, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've done a factory reset.... nothing will work.
If it's an issue with router settings, I don't understand why it works fine on my laptop. I had made no changes to my network or any of my devices' configuration when it stopped working.
Does anyone have any idea why this would only affect android devices, and only over my wifi? I have no idea what else to try.

You cleared app data, what about the app cache? Also do you happen to be using a vpn service like unblock-us, I had a similar issue one time when my region had been changed from usa to uk on the website and then it was telling me I couldn't connect. Good luck.

Yeah when you clear data, it also clears the cache. I also uninstalled and reinstalled, and even did factory reset. I'd never had it on my phone until today and no go there... .and like I said, only on WiFi. Yet it works fine on my laptop over WiFi. On my Galaxy S5 it works on cellular fine. This is the weirdest issue I've ever run into.
I've worked as a computer/network tech since 2005, and while I may not be the most knowledgeable guy around, I can usually figure out any network related issue... but I don't know what the difference would be between the android apps and the browser app. I figure if it's not the app it would have to be something with my router/firewall... but I have no idea what.
UPDATE
It's definitely something to do with my router config. I have the same router/access point set up at home as we have at work, and we also have the same internet plan aside from this being a business account. But it's the same ISP, and same Up/Down speed. I just tried it at work over wifi on my phone and it works fine.
It could also be your ISP. Business account traffic is treated differently than residential account.
Ok I got it fixed. I still have no idea what the hell the problem was. I couldn't find any firewall rules that could have caused the issue. Nothing had changed in my set up and it just suddenly stopped working in the middle of watching one day. I considered the ISP being an issue, but my girlfriend also has COX internet, and she had no issues at her house on her blue ray player or phone on her wifi, and like I said before... it still worked on my laptop at home.
I think some kind of bug just popped up in pfsense. I did a factory reset on it and now everything's working fine. Still the weirdest issue I've ever encountered. It still worked fine on my laptop, but not on any android (on wifi), or maybe mobile and not android was the factor? I don't own apple products so I couldn't test that.
I guess I bought the wrong tablet for my kid because the stock tablet family management is terrible and no root. I tried to setup a limited version of my adult account with sideloaded google play and blokada but blokada stopped working and the app icon disappeared(or never appeared and I didn't notice till it stopped working). It seems blokada also broke my wifi settings as the network connects but no internet. I tried to reset to factory but I guess that does not reset whatever blokada changed because the network always has no internet. No vpn settings anymore... guess that got changed. I am able to tether to my phone hotspot and get internet but not my home wifi. I suppose I could change the SSID but then I would have to reconfig 2 dozen devs not fun. How can I get the stock ROM? Or, how do I get my wifi settings reset?
created a guest network with a new ssid but same no internet, it dont like this ap for some reason.
Yep, something buggy with 8.8.8.8 haunting DNS entries. Noticed my phone was giving out ip6 dns so I turned on ip6 for my local network and the crap tablet is working now.
As said in the title, a few days ago i had to change my wifi router to another one specifically an askey RTV9015VW, every device went without a issue except mine wich is now unable to access Twitch.tv or its app, the same happens with twitter and with google sometimes, the router is configured by my isp i have been looking for blocking but everything looks fine, is this maybe a hardware level block?
