I am assuming netflix / has made some sort of application change that has caused this but would like to see if anyone has input-
We have large hotspot deployments in which users connect game consoles to the service and stream netflix. Up until recently ~2-3 months there have been no issues. I have confirmed disabling hotspot fixes the recent issue, and here is what I have found -
When running netflix application the application does a series of 4 checks to verify internet connection. These tests consist of dns query and subsequent TCP connection with IP given in DNS reply.
Example -
With hotspot disabled, all tests work fine:
DNS Query for playstation.nccp.netflix.com
DNS Query response
TCP SYN to address contained in DNS response
With hotspot enabled, 3 of 4 tests always fail:
DNS Query for playstation.nccp.netflix.com
DNS Query response
TCP SYN to address of actual DNS server
Again, this previously worked and disabling hotspot now fixes the issue - looking for any ideas on things I could possibly try in mikrotik config to battle this behavior?
Thanks
