• Most efficient filter syntax to match two TLD suffixes

  I'd like to filter the same useless content (cookie and login popups) on both bbc.com and bbc.co.uk . Should I duplicate each filter, or use one line with bbc.*, or another way? Sorry if this should be obvious but I have searched and not found a solution. Source: 11 months ago

• VMs cannot access internet

  I can ping 8.8.8.8, I can tracert to 8.8.8.8, but websites are hit and miss. I've managed to browse to download Google Chrome, but it took a few attempts. I am unable to browse to speedtest.net. I can browse to bbc.co.uk. Source: 11 months ago

• Do you watch TV much or do you mainly watch "on demand" media from the internet such as YouTube? How has your TV viewing changed or not over the last 10 or 20 so years?

  Yeah I used to as well but now I find the news here on Reddit to be just as good. If I need news articles I just look on the most recent news on places like guardian.co.uk or bbc.co.uk or NY times, Washington Post etc. Source: 12 months ago

• For work purposes, my ping needs to be below 20 (ideally 10). What package should I upgrade too?

  One initial option is to always use wired and not wifi, having a ping below 20 ms is possible but it's unlikely with Virgin. I'm in Glasgow myself and I'm getting 12 to 13 ms to bbc.co.uk on BT Full Fibre. Source: about 1 year ago

• Why is mainstream media coverage of France so limited?

  This was literally on the front page of bbc.co.uk and cnn.com. Dunno what you're talking about. Source: about 1 year ago

• vlans stopped working (internet access)

  If you perform an nslookup on bbc.co.uk do you get any response from your DNS server? What happens if you use a different server? Source: about 1 year ago

• Issues with clients unable to access the internet with DNS set to lancache server

  It can ping 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1 and any local IP but trying to get it to resolve to google.com or bbc.co.uk it fails to resolve the address. Source: over 1 year ago

• Why make your links shorter, when you can make them longer?

  One suggestion would be to allow me to use naked domains (as you have above). When testing your site, I initially tried lengthening bbc.co.uk but was informed this wasn’t valid. I then tried www.bbc.co.uk but was again told it wasn’t valid. It was only when I entered https://www.bbc.co.uk was I able to get an elongated link. Source: over 1 year ago

• Why does storm fiber ban certain links?

  Is it only my connection or does everyone face this issue? Like they ban the most harmless and dumb links one can think of. For instance, if you copy a video link from YT the link is like this "https://youtu.be/....." and it doesn't work! While the youtube.com domain works perfectly fine. Same is the case with other completely harmless websites like bbc.co.uk, makeuseof.com and many more! IDK if this is a storm... Source: over 1 year ago
