Problems with Duckduckgo.com - images search not loading and fav icons, problems with IP/DNS?

hi there,

 

i personally use https://duckduckgo.com as a search engine which i really like. i noticed that for some reason when i am on o2 network either 4G or 3G, doesn't matter, the image search is not working, it shows all broken images.

 

the images are loaded from proxy.duckduckgo.com which seems not to be resolved on the o2 data connecion.

 

can someone tell me why?

 

i like DDG as a search engine for privacy reasons.

 

example, here i am on my connection at home and no problem loading

 

https://proxy.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse2.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.aeVtwDnvKISpr7Xuya...

 

that is the url of what is loaded when you go to images search and open in new tab.

 

finally here's what i get

 

duckduckgonowork.PNG

 

can anyone try this if it happens on your end as well? i think o2 network does not resolve proxy.duckduckgo.com

 

many thanks,

Gabrio

I've already posted showing it works fine on O2.
Maybe a setting on your phone?
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Not phone related... also on my colleagues phone same thing happened.

I was just now in chat with o2 and the agent had an idea to switch off the adult content block... not sure if that will work but we shall see..

That could be a factor.
