It's not HughesNet's DNS because I was able to reach the site using their default DNS.
Each device retains a local, more immediate DNS as these things propagate across the network. It's more likely that the issue was cleared when you ran ipconfig and flushed it, and it just needed to re-propagate.
I am using their default DNS too. I did all of the troubleshooting yesterday, and that's when I flushed the cache. When it wouldn't connect again this AM, I went straight to changing my internet connection via my hotspot. It connects immediately after that. Then I re-enable my ethernet connection and disconnect my hotspot and hit refresh, and it times out. You were able to connect to the site because it started working again on its own. It is an intermittent problem it seems, happened 2 mornings in a row. I like to start all of my game launchers first this thing the AM so if there are any updates they will download during the bonus period instead of the regular daytime. Steam and Ubisoft connected without issue, it's only Epic that gives trouble, says connection error.
Ok. Whatever you want to think. It works now, so it doesn't matter.
