What error are you seeing? Works over here. Its hosted on Vercel so shouldn’t be too complicated or different than most similar deployments.

- OJFord 3y agoBoth say 'Unable to connect' for me (Firefox built in page) in the UK. Which I think means the name resolved but no response. (But I'm on mobile so can't say more than that.)
- zeeg 3y agoAre you using NextDNS by chance? Someone reported an issue with it blocking the domain on there, but it was unclear _which_ setting was blocking it. Was also odd given its just a Vercel website and the domain (afaik) was unused prior.
- OJFord 3y agoYeah I just came back here to say that was the culprit. It's because it's a newly registered domain.
- e1g 3y agoThe domain name is new, and those get blocked by many DNS-based ad-blocks. I use NextDNS and get the same error - spotlightjs.com is blocked (resolves to 0.0.0.0) NextDNS calls this "Block Newly Registered Domains (NRDs)", and applies to all domains <30 days. ZScaler has something similar for corporate users, so people connecting from work might see a big red warning page.
- simonw 3y agoIsn't a tool that blocks all domains registered less than 30 days ago hugely annoying? I guess I can see the upside in terms of helping avoid newly registered phishing sites, but I don't think I could live with the downsides.
- OJFord 3y agoIt happens I frequently enough that I forgot it, I've used NextDNS for at least a year, and it's happened at most once before. How often do you try (deliberately) to use something so newly registered? Frankly even most new things have older domains. (I know I'm not alone here in having domains registered for projects that may or may not ever materialise..!) Also maybe worth saying that it's not even really about NextDNS as a tool, it's that block list or ones like it. I'm not sure if it's enabled by default or not.
