Roblox Connection Problems

nekoalosama · ‎08-01-2017

I have been trying to connect to Roblox through the OpenDNS servers. The problem is that it gives me an error telling me if it was my antivirus program or my firewall, but neither has shown any relationship to Roblox in any way. I even used the FamilyShield DNS servers, but they still don't work. Is this a problem on my part or OpenDNS'?

The symptoms do not indicate that it is related to OpenDNS. But to be sure it is not a DNS problem, copy & paste the complete plain text output of the following commands to here:

nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.
nslookup whoami.akamai.net.
nslookup www.roblox.com.

I have done the commands. The only thing that isn't showing a reply is debug.opendns.com. I don't know if that indicates a problem or if that's intended.

Unfortunately I cannot see the outputs. :( Therefore I cannot really analyze it.

What does "isn't showing a reply is debug.opendns.com" mean?

Didn't you get a response at all? I.e. a timeout? Or did you get NXDOMAIN meaning the domain does not exist? The latter indicates that you do not use OpenDNS, but another DNS service. Then it is even less an OpenDNS problem, but a problem of the DNS service you're using. And yes, if you don't use OpenDNS, then this response is intended, or better: to be expected.
