[gentoo-user] About dig command and others

[Stephen Liu]

Hi folks,

Gentoo_amd64

My ISP tried to block their unwellcome sites on the proxy server, I suppose, disallowing their subscribers visiting them.  The blocked sites can be visited locally or abroad without problem via other ISPs OR via www.proxydom.com by me.  I tried to verify my suspicion with;

# dig "blocked site IP add" "ISP IP add"
bash: dig: command not found

# emerge --search dig

Please advise which package shall I installed?

Is there another method to check/verify my suspicion.  TIA

Tks for your link.  I have "dig' installed and running here.

I can't recall which of the following commands is correct ?

$ dig ISP_URL Website_URL
Website_IP_address displayed.


$ dig Website_URL ISP_URL
Website_IP_address not displayed

Please shed me some light.  TIA.


But I can't browse Website_URL or Website_IP_address, only directed to an empty page with "Done" at the bottome

Try man dig

Neither, the man page explains the correct syntax.

Based on the original post, it sounds to me like your ISP is (intentionally 
or not) blocking that site.  There's very little (probably nothing) you 
could do to prove they are doing it intentionally.  What you've already 
done (tried via other ISPs and a proxy service) already proves the site is 
blocked (although, I suppose it could be the site blocking your ISP and 
not vice-versa).

> I can't recall which of the following commands is correct ?

Neither, dig doesn't take URLs.

You are probably wanting something like:
dig google.com
* Looks up the address for google.com using the nameserver listed 
in /etc/resolv.conf

or:
dig @151.164.1.1 google.com
* Looks up the address for google.com using 151.154.1.1 (ns1.swbell.net)

You should be able to compare how various DNS servers resolve the address 
you are trying to browse using varations of those two commands.  However, 
dig is capable of much more, so you might want to read the dig manpage 
displayed by:
man dig

Also, keep in mind that your ISP could resolve the domain's ip address 
properly and still block the site.

Actually I'm not interested on the site being blocked which is/was censored to a blank page.  It was because of an article against the owner of my ISP.  This owner owns 2 ISPs. All their subcribers can't browse the blocked site.  This happening went to public on newspapers.  Some subscribers made complaint to the authority concerned.

I can browse the site via proxydom.com without problem.  On my search installing foxyproxy, the addon, on Firefox can browse the site.  I'm running SeaMonkey on this Gentoo box.  I'm now learning how to make foxyproxy to work on SeaMonkey.

My sole interest is to learn accumulating my IT knowhow.  How to prove this malpractice is done by my ISP.

The owner of the site also made complaint to the telecommunication authority here.

Others noted with tks.
