Hi. I appreciate this issue was raised quite a while ago but I had the same issue recently with an unrelated docker stack and it was driving me insane. Virgin media caused the issue and you can opt out from this DNS service as described here:
Hope this update can be a time saving for anyone else experiencing this silly Virgin Media specific issue.
many thanks for this report!
92.242.132.24 issue has occurred with our customers. Our firewall has firewalled out this IP address as part of a range because of spam and also being blacklist on spam monitors This causes Blackfruit DNS server search not to see our IP address because it is firewalled out - so it assumes that we do not exist. It then tries to redirect our customer access (eg to our websites including sfmes.co.uk) to their own IP address. But our DNS is tighjtly configured to insist on https and- so any decent browser will bounce the diversion. The net result is no advertising for Blackfruit and our customers advised to change their DNS to google 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4
Some time ago @jpszjac reported that he could not get databox to work at home. After trying to debug the issue we could not find the root cause. I have recently experienced the same issue while working at a house with Virgin Media.
This problem is caused by Virgin Medias use of Barefruit (http://barefruit.co.uk/)
This means that any DNS error resolves to 92.242.132.24 see below:
This causes the core network to resolve the arbiter to 92.242.132.24:
This leaves databox in a nonworking state :-(
@sevenEng @mor1 looks like the core network will need some tweaking to resolve this issue before we get caught out by this in deployments.
