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

[Gabrio]

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

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

And does it work for you?

[Gabrio]

Today i tested this with a few colleagues

Device on 3 works fine
Device on giffgaff same problem as me

So is definitely a o2 network issue

[Gabrio]

Can someone ask to the engineers why?

@Martin-O2or @Marjo or @EmilieT can feed it back but don't expect any type of quick fix.

[Gabrio]

Cheers... it's ok... dont think is complicated. They just dont resolve the url for images.

I've already posted showing it works fine on O2.
Maybe a setting on your phone?

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.
