Windows resolve youtube address as 10.10.10.10?

Question

Domain Name System

Hi all! Please let me know if anyone has come across this problem. About half a year ago, on my home microtic, I decided to ban some sites, such as YouTube. I did it very simply - I routed all requests to the domain name to the address 10.10.10.10 - which does not exist in my network. Everything worked great. Well, for these half a year, YouTube was unavailable from computers on the home network. Now I need this service, but it is still unavailable. The snag is that Mikrotik hasn't had this for 2 months now. Everything works on other devices, but the Windows computer continues to think that YouTube has the address 10.10.10.10. Nothing helped, neither resetting the DNS cache nor a complete reset of the network subsystem via netsh. Nothing in the routing table either. Which way to look? I think it is logical to assume that this happens at the time of resolving addresses,

Answer 1

Check the hosts file and clear your browser cache.

Answer 2

you install DNS from Google and Cloudflare
8.8.8.8
1.1.1.1
will not help - you install from Komodo or other anti-virus nonsense like Casper
, they will quickly polish you so that YouTube will open, and a lot of things will close, gee gee,
but the babbling "Windows thinks"
nothing she doesn’t think, changing the DNS easily opens RKN sites, for example (not always and not all), so Windows works as it should
