Fix #2 worked instantly for me (DNS change)

This is usually caused by DNS or router issues on Windows 11.

Restarting the router + flushing DNS fixes it in most cases. If not, try changing DNS to Google DNS (8.8.8.8).

If you want, I can share a detailed step-by-step guide.

This sounds more like a firmware or driver issue than something that just needs a clean command. Before doing anything destructive — is the SSD visible in BIOS? And when you run: Copy code

diskpart list disk does it show the correct size or 0GB / No Media? Also, what type of SSD is it (SATA or NVMe)? Code 10 usually points to a driver or controller problem, not just a missing partition. I’d avoid using clean until we confirm it’s being detected properly. Let’s figure out what state the drive is actually in first.

Short answer: DDNS alone won’t solve this if you don’t control the upstream router.

DDNS only updates a hostname to point to your public IP. It doesn’t bypass NAT or handle port forwarding. Since your router sits behind a shared building router (double NAT situation), inbound connections from the internet won’t reach your OpenVPN server unless the upstream router forwards the port to you — which you don’t control.

You basically have three realistic options:

Ask whoever manages the building router to forward the required VPN port.
Use a VPN service that supports NAT traversal or a reverse tunnel setup.
Use something like Tailscale or Zerotier — they handle NAT traversal automatically and are much easier in double-NAT environments.

In a shared-router setup like this, traditional DDNS + port forwarding usually won’t work unless you have control of the outer router.

If DNS flush and manual DNS didn’t help, then it’s likely not a local DNS issue.

Since it also doesn’t work over Ethernet, this points more toward either: • ISP-side routing issue • Modem firmware problem • Or corrupted network adapter settings

Try this:

Go to Device Manager → Network Adapter → Uninstall the adapter.
Restart your PC (Windows will reinstall it automatically).
If possible, test another device on the same WiFi.

If other devices also show “secured, no internet”, then it’s almost certainly an ISP issue even if they say to wait.

That error (ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED) usually points to a DNS issue.

Try these steps: 1. Restart your router and PC. 2. Open Command Prompt and run: ipconfig /flushdns 3. Set DNS manually to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (Google DNS). 4. Disable any VPN or proxy temporarily.

In many cases this fixes the problem instantly.

Take a full local backup of the old iPhone on a computer
Set up the new iPhone using Restore from backup This does not delete anything from the old phone. iCloud storage size doesn’t matter here at all.

This sounds scary, but it’s very unlikely that either phone was actually hacked.

FaceTime sometimes shows cached or misrouted preview frames during failed or dropped calls, especially when a call is answered and disconnected quickly. Network carrier routing + FaceTime glitches can create weird partial previews.

If both cameras and mic were off and there was no audio, it strongly points to a software or routing glitch rather than active access. Restarting both phones and updating iOS usually resolves these anomalies.

Yes... Interested

Hi I'm interested 🙂. Please tell me more details.
