Can't access Aur/bbs/wiki

Hi there.
I can't access the ArchLinux AUR/BBS/WIKI sites. Therefore I can't use AUR Helper(Yay), which is a problem for me. If I try to open the sites in the browser I get a timeout. Pinging doesn't work.

I have no problems at all with my Windows host machine. Could you help me find the cause of the problem? Where should I look for an error message? I'm looking forward to your answers. Thanks in advance.

cower -u
error: [multi]: Couldn't resolve host name

ping https://aur.archlinux.org
ping: https://aur.archlinux.org: Name or service not known

Re: Can't access Aur/bbs/wiki

dig aur.archlinux.org
dig @8.8.8.8 aur.archlinux.org

It would seem that the nameserver of your router is broken (or has a bad cache entry)
Adding "1.1.1.1", "8.8.8.8" or "9.9.9.9" (cloudflare, google, ibm) to your  /etc/resolvconf.conf name_servers or name_servers_append should work around that.

I added name_servers to resolve.conf, restarted NetworkManager(systemctl restart NetworkManager), didn't work. Then I replaced name_servers with name_servers_append didn't work either.

Re: Can't access Aur/bbs/wiki

added name_servers to resolve.conf

/etc/resolvconf.conf wasn't a typo…

Edit: also shouldn't networkmanager be using resolved by default? Did you redirect it to openresolv?
Edit #2: and please post the dig outputs.

How to do that?

I added 5.9.250.164 aur.archlinux.org to /etc/hosts, now I can access aur but wiki and bbs are still unavailable. Also, I noticed that I have the same problem with other web sites.

Thank you.

Re: Can't access Aur/bbs/wiki

Run them and copy and paste the ouput or pipe the output into "curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io"?
Also abort stupid things like abusing your hosts file, obviously the dhcp(?) provided DNS server in your router(?) is broken, so just avoid that.
Also elaborate on the resolved situation - did you downforce it? resolv.conf doesn't look like a symlink to the resolved stub.

Re: Can't access Aur/bbs/wiki

Adding name_servers or name_servers_append to /etc/resolvconf.conf  didn't help.

You should post the actual configuration file rather than a vague description, the resolv.conf you have posted suggests that you made a mistake there.

Try

replace="nameserver/192.168.1.1/8.8.8.8/"

Re: Can't access Aur/bbs/wiki

Try

replace="nameserver/192.168.1.1/8.8.8.8/"

This is how /etc/resolvconf.conf looks like:

cat /etc/resolvconf.conf 
# Configuration for resolvconf(8)
# See resolvconf.conf(5) for details

resolv_conf=/etc/resolv.conf
# If you run a local name server, you should uncomment the below line and
# configure your subscribers configuration files below.
replace="nameserver/192.168.1.1/8.8.8.8/"

Trying to ping aur
