haha Agree .. but then downtime is often compare to Unifi T___T

Hi guys wanna ask ya i just switched to Cyberbroadband 100Mb.
now that im on it certain sites that i visit keep giving me captcha its getting annoying 


did virus scans all turned out clean.

can i get them to do something on their end? since ip belongs to them..?

yeah the dns is defaulted to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4

so nothing much we can do ?
can i change my dns to cloudflare or something else,
on my router will it fix this ?

u can report to them...as for myself, im not using thier stock router..n I change the dns at my router..

Actually, its not directly related with DNS. Yes true indeed that; whenever people is searching for a website, DNS request will be sent to query the data from source to destination. In our case, the router is set to Google DNS (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4), and you can imagine there is 900 unit of Masreca that send a query to Google DNS. Truthfully, this is consider to be a on small scale compared to a global DNS Request.

So What is DNS - DNS is a Domain Name Services that Mapping a numerical IP address to a Human readable format called "words" Eg :

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    google.com
Addresses:  2404:6800:4001:80e::200e
          216.58.221.206.
216.58.221.206 -> Google.com

In an easy word, DNS is a kind of services that we don't need to remember a numerical addresses of a webpage. We only need to remember the page name instead of its number. 

So why do i say that DNS is not directly related?

====================

The real issue lie in the NAT (Network Address Translation).

What is NAT then?

It is a process in which remapping one IP address space into another by modifying network address information in the IP header of packets while they are in transit across a traffic routing device. For example, the SH network is using a Multiple layer of NAT to advertise the internal IP. When the IP is in SH, the NAT addresses will be super-net to form a single IP going out to the outside world.

For Example, let say Ceria residence is having a a class A private subnet of 10.10.10.0/24 and Masreca is having a Class A Private subnet of 10.10.11.0/24 - Both of this subnet will be aggregated/Supernetted to  form a Class A private network of 10.10.10.0/23. This Network is then advertise to the outside world using only a single Public IP address.

So This is where the real issue come, A single Public IP is having a lot of query to Google DNS. That is why Google is flagging the IP and to counteract it, google  implemented CAPTCHAs to verify that the request is from a valid user and not from an automated request.

You can ask the residence to check what is the Public IP is being used. I bet that all of the residence of Masreca or Ceria residece will get the same public address.
For example; Currently in Masreca they are having this Public IP : "Your IPv4 Address Is: 202.168.64.141 "
======================

To resolve this kind of issue, in the past, I've subscribe to a Maxis Fiber services and they do provide a public addresses to their user. The advantage of using a publicly assign (DHCP) addresses is that I've never experience the CAPTCHAs issue and and i can directly access  my router from outside. Easy word is that my router is accessible from WAN environment. From google POV, using a public address will make the user become legitimate because of less query being send to google instead of using a private address that is being NAT-ed (is that a word? lol) that send a LOT of request from only single IP address.

======================

I did check and it seems that we can try to ask SH to provide a public assign DHCP IP instead of using a NAT-ed IP to assign to the CALIX router.

Below is the IP range of SH :

inetnum:        202.168.64.0 - 202.168.79.255
netname:        CITYBROADBAND
descr:          Setia Haruman Technology, Sdn Bhd, 

Below is the IP range of Maxis :

inetnum:        202.75.128.0 - 202.75.159.255
netname:        MAXISNET
descr:          Maxis Broadband Sdn Bhd

Indeed, Maxis have more IP allocation compared to SH thus this is might be the reason why maxis can offer public IP to their customers.
Anyhow, I can suggest the user to contact SH and ask them to change to Public address instead of Private address.
I've done that before with Maxis but not sure with SH.

=========================

Changing the DNS address to other address will help to alleviate the situation temporarily but not entirely.
Even though you are changing the google DNS to a Cloudflare DNS, if you still using the Google search engine, google will still detect you are from the same address and you will still need to solve the CAPTCHAs.

Hope above explanation helps.

It's simple mate, here's the basic step :-

Login in to your calix router
turn off your wireless
plug in your custom router on the calix lan port
if you are using asus like mine, use the auto detect function on the wan side.
if u are using other router, make sure using an IP that is in the same subnet as the Calix LAN.

Some features like Dynamic DNS will not work  here due to multiple NAT that is being implemented by Setia Haruman.
U can't get a public IP on your CAlix though.

Anyhow, do let me know if u encounter any issue. Glad to helps.

May i know your speed test results is running on wifi or lan cable?

does anyone know if CBB will be getting any price reduction like the rest of the ISP ?

Yesterday,i saw some ads inside facebook. It's 109 for 100Mbps.
New speed 300Mbps for 149.
500Mbps & 1Gbps same old price 259 and 399 respectively.
I suggest you go check TIME broadband. 1Gbps for 199 only.

haha sadly my area no time support
only CBB & unifi (30mb)

ape lagi bro, kasi tukar TIME plak..haha

  thanks for the detailed explanation 
i guess  i get it now. once the captchas come back ill try and get them to provide me with a non private ip and share my experience here
