I don't like PragerU, but really? My ISP has apparently IP-blocked their website.

Sorry for the spam but I did some more testing and while Google's DNS temporarily allowed my Linux Laptop access that is no longer the case.

I've noticed that right after I restart my modem I'm able to access blocked websites for a very short period of time. So it probably has nothing to do with the OS or DNS server.

Maybe your modem has been attacked through some vulnerability? Maybe its DNS settings have been hijacked? Can you login into its settings and see the DNS values?

Concerning your ISP, maybe it's not some wrongdoing on their part but a case of hacking. Maybe you could ask at their technical support desk if there's something wrong with your modem.

I checked their default DNS servers and they're both owned and operated by my ISP. Also: the issue persists when I use other DNS servers, even when I manually set them on my PC.
