Today's fun debug adventure, on one of the bgp.tools remote IX collector boxes in Iraq, all DNS packets appear to be ACL'd now. See the difference in mtr's for port 53 vs 54 Not too much of a problem, as just flipping the switch on systemd-resolved to use DNS Over TLS "fixed" the problem. I guess systemd-resolved is good for something then!
one honk maybe more

Unsure why DNS is now bad, maybe it's exam time in Iraq again or something. Given Iraq/Iran/etc have used nationwide DNS blocking as a way to reduce cheating on exams
