Here\u2019s Why and the Quick Fix That Works"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

If Medium hasn\u2019t been opening for you in India lately, don\u2019t panic. You\u2019re not the only one. Over the past few weeks, many users have noticed that medium.com<\/em> just won\u2019t load either on the app or browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turns out, the problem isn\u2019t Medium\u2019s fault. It\u2019s your internet provider\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Actually Going On<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Around mid-October, several Indian ISPs including Jio, Airtel, and Vi<\/strong> started routing Medium\u2019s traffic incorrectly. When you try to visit medium.com<\/em>, your request goes to the wrong IP address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medium\u2019s servers are fine, but your ISP\u2019s system called DNS<\/strong> has messed up the directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why It Happens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If I have to explain what DNS means in the most simplest way then, DNS is like your phone\u2019s contacts plus autocomplete for the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of remembering someone\u2019s full phone number, you just type their name and your phone dials the right number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Same way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If DNS is wrong or corrupted, it\u2019s like your contact pointing to the wrong person \u2013 you tap \u201cMom\u201d and some random uncle picks up
When your ISP\u2019s DNS cache goes wrong, websites appear \u201cdown\u201d even when they\u2019re working fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix: Change Your DNS Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to wait for your ISP to fix it. You can do it yourself in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By changing your DNS to a public resolver<\/strong> like Google<\/strong> or Cloudflare<\/strong>, your device skips the broken ISP lookup and goes straight to the right address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option 1 – Google DNS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
