Can’t connect to a website

Trying to connect to arenapay.io I get a 502 bad gateway, but if I access via my cell phone with wifi off it works. Is there a setting incorrect?

Re: Can’t connect to a website

Does this Orbi system have Armor or Parental Controls enabled?

What DNS servers are being used by the router?

Re: Can’t connect to a website

This error message implies that the Orbi router received invalid information when attempting to resolve the IP address:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/502 

 

My first thought is to set the Orbi router to use different DNS servers.

A lot of people use:

CloudFlare   1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

GoogleDNS    8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

OpenDNS      208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

 

This is set on the Orbi web interface, Internet menu, in the middle of the page.

Re: Can’t connect to a website

p.s. Thanks to this post I now know that those URL's that end in unusual domains are actually Country designations.

*.io stands for Indian Ocean.

*.tv stands for Tuvalu.

 

(You might guess what I had naively thought they stood for.)
