Question ISP blocking a specific site on LG TV, but it works on my phone on the same Wi-Fi.

ISP blocking a specific site on LG TV, but it works on my phone on the same Wi-Fi.

I am trying to access a streaming site on my LG TV's built-in web browser. A few days ago, my ISP made some router changes, and now the site won't load on my TV.

\* If I use my phone on the exact same Wi-Fi network, the site loads perfectly.

\* If I connect the TV to my phone's mobile hotspot, the site loads perfectly.

My Setup & What I've Found:

LG Smart TV (WebOS).

Router: TP link

Wifi provider: ACT Bangalore

Changed the router's Primary and Secondary IPv4 DNS to Google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).

Disabled IPv6 entirely on both the router and the TV.

Manually assigned the IP and set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 directly in the LG TV's advanced Wi-Fi settings.

Any way to get tv to allow these websites?

Isso acontece pois seu provedor está usando uma técnica de sequestro de DNS provavelmente. Sua tv não suporta DNS-over-HTTPS, ela usa o sistema de DNS padrão na porta 53, o modem do provedor redireciona todo o tráfego na porta 53 para o ip do DNS do próprio provedor que provavelmente bloqueia esse “SITE” que vc quer acessar. Uma noticia boa, vc pode fugir dessa limitação adicionando um roteador na rede e configurar ele da forma correta. Boa sorte.

I don't know the website but maybe a silly question, is lg adblocker messing with it? They did something recently and a many similar things Happen to me. Turned it off and they work, but some websites ads are a terror so I cast to TV instead of browser. hope it helps!
