Hello everybody!
I have a very strange problem and I would like your help. This problem started a few weeks ago. I needed to access the site www.frigelar.com.br but the requests did not get an answer. After verifying every request path, I finally discovered that the problem was on my router (TP-Link TL-WR841ND v in which I installed the DD-WRT.
After a few attempts to find out what configuration was causing this problem, I gave up for lack of knowledge and decided to reset the router to its original settings, ie a "clean" copy of the DD-WRT. After I reconfigure the DD-WRT again (wireless, default IP, DHCP, etc.) the site I wanted to access became accessible again for a day.
Today, I tried to access the site again and it, again, was inaccessible.
What could be happening? I would like to continue using DD-WRT, but this strange flaw is making me reconsider this hypothesis.
PS: A strange thing that made me spend a lot of time until I discovered that the problem was in DD-WRT was that this access problem only affected Windows PCs. I have 4 Windows PCs, 1 connected directly to the router via ethernet cable and 3 other PCs connected to the wireless network. Two of these PCs have Windows 10 and two Windows 7. I have an Android phone and this one has not lost access to the site in any moment

Does DNS resolve the site to the same IP when the issue occurs vs when it does not? DNSMasq would be my first suspect. _________________ __________________________
