I am trying to reach a website which AFAIK is DNS blocked in the country I am residing. The webpage I am trying to access is pinnacle.com
.
Given the understanding of how DNS works I have, to work around the problem, I user an online DNS lookup tool (dnsqueries.com
). From an A
record I found the IP address 192.230.70.134
. I happily entered that into the browser, trying both :80 and :443, but got returned the following error:
192.230.70.134
- Resolving failedError code 22
The proxy failed to resolve site from host name, if this site was recently added please allow a few minutes before trying again.
<...> Proxy IP
192.230.70.134
When using :443, Chrome also shows that the website's HTTPS Certificate is invalid, even though when inspecting it, it looks alright and it even says Certificate is OK
.
I don't understand what sort of DNS resolution it is complaining about and why I could be facing such a problem.
