I've lost connection to the internet on all devices at home around 20:00 on Thursday. The odd thing is on a PC with Nord VPN installed I can access the internet once the VPN connection is established.
I can't access it on any phone or PC without any VPN software. The symptoms are odd:
- Accessing certain domains lands me in the Routers Config screen (192.168.1.254) for example www.wp.pl
- Attempt to connect to most domains end with a: Connection was reset in the browser window
trace without VPN:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>tracert www.reddit.com
Tracing route to reddit.map.fastly.net [151.101.1.140]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms PNHUB1 [192.168.1.254]
2 9 ms 8 ms 8 ms 412.xe-2-2-0.plusnet.psb-bng02.plus.net [84.93.253.232]
3 151.101.1.140 reports: Destination protocol unreachable.
Trace complete.
Trace with VPN goes through fine.
The router shows that it's connected to the internet and it provides me with an internal (192.168.X.X) IP correctly.
I use Open DNS and the names resolve correctly when I ping URLs both when connected to the VPN and when not connected.
I've tried flushing the dns cache, ipconfig -renew, soft and hard router resets, setting the IPv4 connection details manually but no dice.
Since every single device I have cant connect to the internet it has to be the router or a problem with plusnet. Any ideas what might be up?
