MSE technical problems

In the last few days I've had problems connecting to a few sites but mainly mse. Today I get dns could not be found messages when searching my posts and long delays when moving between some boards on mse.
Is this happening to others?
Edited to add I got an error code 4 message the first time I tried to post this.

Reboot your router...switch it off for 5mins then on and see if that helps, you can get stale connections/routings and this should help clear them.0

^ Hopefully thats the reason. Annoying, but at least it should get sorted without my involvement.0

Generally speaking if you didn't change anything, then it's your ISPs problem.
DNS issues are becoming a more widespread problem as ISPs are being forced to route DNS requests through censorship filters, they're getting overwhelmed and it's causing major issues. Despite never opting into filtering, my internet got screwed up last week when BT detected I was using Google DNS, they basically blocked Google and many of my usual websites until I changed back to using BTs DNS servers........ Which I refuse to do, so i've been using VPN ever since!“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Probably not your isp/dns it is probably incapable again why mse and others use that SOS to "avoid Ddns attacks" is beyond me. MSE is quite capable of creating their own:D
