UK's O2 network is blocking duckdns.org domains (feddit.uk)

It too me a while to work out why my Nextcloud stuff wasn't working on my phone. It wasn't until I went to http://duckdns.org on mobile data I saw the block. I had changed ISP from one with IPv6, which I had setup, to an ISP without it, and thought it might be that. But it was just coincidence.

I've written to O2 but I doubt they will change anything, so I'll be changing network.

So heads up UK O2 self hosting people!

T-mobile was doing this in the US but only blocking certain ports when talking to my home server, might try putting it on a non-standard port as well and see if you can access the service then.

Oh I know some ports are ok. My SSH and WireGuard get through. Port 80 is redirected to a block page place holder and 443 is interfered with so SSL fails.

Wouldn't you be on CGNAT though? How are they blocking it - at the DNS level? Have you tried a CNAME record that points your own domain to the actual duckdns domain? Just curious how/why they might be doing this.

I've been doing some investigating. It's not just DNS. Termux doesn't use the system DNS, it uses Google. But there is still a interference with SSL on 443 and a different page on port 80.

Edit: oh and the IP address is current with ping.
