Solved Suddenly - half of the internet not accessible

Hi,
booted my laptop earlier today to test some things - internet was fine and suddenly after reboot - half of the internet is not accessible.
I can access google.com but cant access local pc part shop, can access fast.com but no reddit, can access freshports and this forum - but not a local news page.
Started to mock around with nameservers as during initial install i set up cloudflare and /etc/resolv.conf does not stating it.
if i add cloudlfare ipv4 and ipv6 nameserver - no internet at all.
p.s. i can ping reddit and my local websites.
P.s. Local - not localhost.
FBSD 14.2-RELEASE-p1

sounds like your ISP had a few peering issues or another ship 'accidentally' took out another fibre. you should be running traceroutes (both v4 and v6 and with -n for no lookups) to see at which hop the packets get stuck.

I had a similar issue some time ago. It turned out the problem came from the router. A firmware update and reboot solved it.

I OpenWRT snapshot weekly, but have a daily router reboot just to avoid uptime oddities. Cleaning up leases and cache is cool, but a minute of downtime a day might avoid hours of no connectivity after 15 hour uptime or something :p

I dont have OpenWRT but my router is LTE one ( with SIM card ) and if i reboot daily - i have to re-login to google, work, etc if i do to much reboots and my router is constantly cooled with fan from PC so no overheating but it might be to much for him as laptop, phone, 2 switches, 2 voip phones, proxmox with vm`s ... maybe it cant handle much of it anymore and no new firmware/updates available.
 
It's unfortunate, but global politics cannot be ruled out here. Remember the Great Chinese Firewall? 👿 Oh, and what about news about Manchester City FC not being that visible in Australia? Even if your hardware/firmware is in top shape, global politics can throw an unfortunate wrench against the ideal of Net Neutrality...

Ok, so it might be my router as my phone started to have connection issues as well.
Thank You.

I assume that that is using your phone via wifi to the 'wifi in your router', and not using your phone accessing the internet via the mobile phone network as 'enabled 'by your mobile phone provider?

I use Netgear Nighthawk mobile lte router.
RJ45 goes to switch, phone and laptop - wifi connection to Netgear.
Yes, my LTE router is an issue and not FreeBSD.

I've read a lot of little articles about tens of thousands of routers being disabled.
Firmware is being broken.

Yeah, you read enough of that stuff - and get motivated to try OpenBoot, LibreBoot, and OpenSIL...
