All,

 

Just to let you know, it has been unblocked from the Whalebone service. Explaining what it was for apparently helped.

 

Kind regards

I'll have to chase this up with whalebone.io the maintainer of DNS4GOV/EU as the interface simply states it's blacklisted with a confidence score of 60/100.

Hi Jørn,

 

It seems I have a similar problem too... When I use my mobile network or commodity network, quite often I am unable to access the discovery unless I make a VPN connection to my network.

 

Probably my ISP's DNS server blocks the domain too.

Hello Sebastian

I just tried to lookup the hostname via 86.54.11.1{,1,2,3} and it
answers every time.  Do you have any more information on why you believe
it is on a blocklist?
