I wonder if it is a resolution issue or an access issue. What happens when you go to: http://62.129.133.242/ ? That should come up with a 'domain for sale' page, that's the same server.

Not loading for me from MA, USA. $ httpstat http://62.129.133.242/ 2018/05/29 10:54:04 unable to connect to host 62.129.133.242:80: dial tcp 62.129.133.242:80: connect: connection timed out

Loads for me in Texas on a cable connection. Fixed IP.

Connected to 62.129.133.242:80 from 10.44.54.246:54832

Resolves for me.

Network engineer here: I'm going to guess that this is a mistaken effort on the part of a Chinese ISP or the GFW to hijack traffic to 1.1.1.1 internally within China, but probably not intended to propagate beyond the major Chinese international-transit-ISP's connections to the global Internet. BCP38 is your friend.

It's been a while so I should re-read it, but I thought BCP38 was best applied at the terminal ISP/client network level. If you're a transit network, you can't do that kind of fitering because you have a legitimate chance of forwarding traffic to and from any network address.

I'm using AnchNet's services. And We've asked AnchNet when I recieved a e-mail from our BGPMon. They said their staff was configured a wrong config on router. Also they don't know 1.1.1.0/24 is used by CloudFlare&APNIC. So they used this prefix to test.

It shouldn't really matter who is currently using that net, it's not a private range :/

Ah! That may have been the reason why my site wasn't resolving earlier today. It was the weirdest situation with people from all over the planet complaining without any apparent pattern, a RIPE check of the site from 10 different locations showed no issues in connectivity. Thanks for posting this.

Also not loading from any SURFNet IP in The Netherlands

More about the principles of not just ingress filtering, but the same as BCP38, but as an ISP with its own ASN, applied to your own egress:

a) don't announce shit you don't own

b) know how to set up ACLs and prefix-list filters on your own egress IP space announcements which face towards your peers and IP transit upstreams.

Conversely, as a big ISP which has many small ASNs downstream of it, be responsible and set up filters on your own ingress which prevent your customers from announcing mistaken shit to you.

Using an example of a clueful and attentive major ISP: For example if you are a small to medium sized regional ISP and buy IP transit from NTT, one of the world's top-ten global commercial transit providers, they actually do take the time to verify each and every prefix you announce to them and will require an interaction with their NOC if you want to announce a new /22.

Would this affect certificate-validating clients doing DNS-over-HTTPS to 1.1.1.1 — doesn’t it have an ipAddress certificate and demand HTTPS resolution only?

They use a named certificate, validated against the standard CAs. Unless the hijackers were able to get a certificate with the name 'cloudflare-dns.com.' then the TLS session would fail. https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/dns-over-tls/
