Failed to resolve hostname problem, but works when the vpn is on for some other countries

TeamSpeak 3 Client
1

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with my TS when trying to connect to the “elserder.ts3v.pro” I get “Failed to resolve hostname” answer. When I connect using the vpn and choosing other countries it works fine (not all the countries tho). But I want my TS to work without the vpn, is it possible?

I tried nslookup thing, didn’t help.

here’s the log:

Host not found means your computer can’t resolve the IP for this address. This happens when ip has been changed and the DNS service isn’t updated yet. Sometimes it needs minutes or days :confused:

Use the IP instead the DNS address.

Please try the IP instead: 51.38.140.227:10631

Omg, this just worked with the IP you gave me! Thank you so much, how did you do it?

Also regarding your answer, there was a short period of time few months ago when I was able to connect to this TS server without vpn (same provider, same laptop, same everything), it lasted for about a 30-40days and then it came back to the fail. I hope if I will keep using the IP you gave me it will keep working normally.

Thank you!

You could try to set a different DNS server for your system. A guide for the Cloudflare DNS e.g. can be found here: Set up Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 resolver · Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 docs

Thank you, will keep it in mind as well. Although I tried using 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 before, did not help :frowning:

Maybe you have the wrong information stored on your computer. Try flushing your dns.

Open a command prompt as an administrator or the equivalent on your computertype “ipconfig /flushdns” without the “”

This will completely reset the DNS in your computer. Most ISPs in the world hold a cached DNS on their servers as well and the reset can take between a few hours to a week. It all depends.
