TM Unifi and Streamyx users have been experiencing a major “core network routing issue” due to as of now unknown reasons fiber cable cutting/failure incident (confirmed it’s not a minor DNS issue as was reported as I can’t even connect to my own server in Singapore) affecting the whole country without any news or official acknowledgement. Despite starting on Saturday midnight, a major fault like this should be should be immediately made known to all users and be looked into immediately.
If you’re experiencing this, the temporary ways you can resolve this are the following:
1. use a third party VPN. Beware choosing the right VPN as there are many fishy/dangerous free VPNs. If you only need for browsing I recommend Windscribe: https://windscribe.com/?friend=wb7o6yt9 (my referral gives you extra 1GB bandwidth totalling 11GB). Everything should work but please note that gaming performance will likely suffer when using free VPN.
2. use a third party DNS server such as Google’s [8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4]. Please note that this only helps you to connect to certain websites that use a third party CDN like Cloudflare. You can either change your DNS server settings in:
a. your router for it to take effect for all devices in your home
b. just through each individual PC or mobile device
Google still works so you can do a Google search on how to do that 😂
