Hey there, I’m trying to fix a setup with a modem and router. After learning about Cloudflare DNS, I started using their app on my phone and everything worked perfectly. But when I needed a separate VPN, I looked up how to set the default DNS on my router. It fixed things until one day I tried streaming Netflix on my mobile phone. Unfortunately, it didn’t load at all. I checked with other devices too—my OnePlus 5T had the same problem. I searched forums for these models and didn’t find any reports of this issue. It seems unusual since I hadn’t experienced similar problems before switching to Cloudflare DNS. I reset both my modem and router hoping it would help, but nothing changed. Anyone have ideas on what might be causing this? I noticed Netflix, Amazon Prime Music, and PhonePE apps were affected, while Prime Video and YouTube worked fine. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or documents to share. Also, keep in mind I’m in India, so time zones might matter. Thanks ahead!
