Pikapods.net inaccessible via Xfinity/Comcast
-
Been running pikapods for about a month for FreshRSS and just today it stopped working. After some troubleshooting, it looks like xfinity/Comcast is flagging pikapods as a risk through their "Advanced Security" feature through their hardware. The only way I could permanently get through it was to disable the advanced security setting. Just FYI if anyone has similar issues.

Can you get around this by changing your DNS? I thought that's the primary way ISPs can control your traffic (though I only enough about this stuff to be dangerous)

Xfinity/Comcast hijacks DNS, even if you use another DNS server (they just redirect DNS requests to them). I suspect that they're using it for analytics data to sell while disguising as "security".
If you want to ensure they don't do it, use your own modem and always force DNS over TLS.
