Re: Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 public DNS broken w/ AT&T CPE

1.0.0.0/8 was assigned to APNIC in 2010.  Those who used it as a placeholder were doing it wrong.  It is valid IP 
space. It just was not assigned until 2010.

Seeing as how 1.1.1.1 isn’t suppose to be routed I’m not surprised this is causing odd issues.

I am behind a Calix router at home for my ISP and 1.1.1.1 goes to my router
and not any further. When I enter the IP into my browser, it opens the
login page for my router. So it appears 1.1.1.1 is used as a loopback in my
Calix router.

1.0.0.1 goes to the proper place fine.

Greetings,

If anyone at 7018 wants to pass a message along to the correct folks,
please let them know that Cloudflare's new public DNS service (1.1.1.1)
is completely unusable for at least some of AT&T's customers.

There is apparently a bug with some CPE (including the 5268AC). From
behind such CPE, the services at 1.1.1.1 are completely unreachable,
whether via (ICMP) ping, DNS, or HTTPS.

Using the 5268AC's web-based diagnostic tools, pinging 1.1.1.1 returns
the following results:

ping successful: icmp seq:0, time=2.364 ms
ping successful: icmp seq:1, time=1.085 ms
ping successful: icmp seq:2, time=1.160 ms
ping successful: icmp seq:3, time=1.245 ms
ping successful: icmp seq:4, time=0.739 ms

RTTs to the CPE's default gateway are, at minimum, ~20 ms.

A traceroute (using the same web-based diagnostic tool built-in to the
CPE) reports, simply:

traceroute 1.1.1.1 with: 64 bytes of data

1: 1.1.1.1(1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com), time=0 ms

I haven't bothered to report this to AT&T through the standard customer
support channels (for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who has
ever called AT&T's consumer/residential technical support) but if anyone
at AT&T wants to pass the info along to the appropriate group, it would
certainly be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Jeremy
