1.1.1.1 Port 53 intercepted by ISP

Hi,

On my computer when nslookup for “bbc.co.uk” with 1.1.1.1, I got a response with an invalid A record, while no issue with 8.8.8.8. Probably an interception by ISP?

Thank you

The BBC does appear to return different records, probably based on the client’s subnet. However in your case it seems to be a Facebook address, which probably is not right.

Considering you are on Windows, could you run the following command in a PowerShell console and post the output here?

(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://1.1.1.1/dns-query?ct=application/dns-json&name=www.bbc.co.uk').RawContent

This is the output from PowerShell:

This also appears to be a Facebook address.

I somewhat doubt the BBC hosts with Facebook but on the other hand this response should really not have been tampered with.

So glad to know that there’s no interception by the ISP!

I can’t access “www.bbc.co.uk” for many weeks. The site can access normally while I use 8.8.8.8 as a resolver.

This should be an issue from a Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 resolver.

Thanks for reporting our DNS team is investigating.

Any update for this issue? Thanks.

The query was indeed being intercepted, the network provider and the BBC have both been notified.

By whom? DoH also returned a seemingly incorrect value.

I believe DoH is just HTTPS from the client to the RR. A regular DNS query is made from the RR to the authoritative dns.

Are you suggesting the connection between Cloudflare and the authoritative nameserver was hijacked? I understood @cs-cf’s response as if the connection between the user and Cloudflare was intercepted.

Just based on DoH providing the same wrong IP I would guess it’s an intermittent edns issue, but that does conflict with his response. /shrug

“Same, wrong” or “same wrong”? :smile:

The former is true, the latter not, as the IP actually was different from the regular DNS request, even though it still pointed to Facebook :man_shrugging:t2:. Hence my plea for clarification to @cs-cf
