You're right; that's a very simple firewall rule. But if I can't access a working DNS server over the internet, then I don't have internet service, and whatever kind of provider I have, it's not an "internet service provider".
- sidewndr46 4y agoEach ISP get's to make its own rules, but its the norm where I've lived to have some services blocked. For example, my ISP blocks GRE. At least one in the past I had blocked inbound SMTP & DNS.
