Based on the original post, it sounds to me like your ISP is (intentionally or not) blocking that site. There's very little (probably nothing) you could do to prove they are doing it intentionally. What you've already done (tried via other ISPs and a proxy service) already proves the site is blocked (although, I suppose it could be the site blocking your ISP and not vice-versa). > I can't recall which of the following commands is correct ? Neither, dig doesn't take URLs. You are probably wanting something like: dig google.com * Looks up the address for google.com using the nameserver listed in /etc/resolv.conf or: dig @151.164.1.1 google.com * Looks up the address for google.com using 151.154.1.1 (ns1.swbell.net) You should be able to compare how various DNS servers resolve the address you are trying to browse using varations of those two commands. However, dig is capable of much more, so you might want to read the dig manpage displayed by: man dig Also, keep in mind that your ISP could resolve the domain's ip address properly and still block the site. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
