Try using a different DNS server?

Check out the private DNS setting in your phone

 

[Ankit Manchanda]

Change to another dns server

Open dns or Google dns as per your preference

I tried Cloudfare dns & google dns. No change.
Now need to check with open dns in my phone once.

If you run through pi hole or something try disabling it..

Check if you can access via mobile data or not.

I don't know what a pi hole is actually.
I am using NETLINK GPON ONT 2GE+1POTS+ac WIFI (HG323DAC) router on BSNL FTTH. When I am trying to login to router to change DNS it's not allowing me at all. So stopped trying it.
I just using Cloudfare dns in my PC and google dns in my android phone.
While using Cloudfare or Google dns in PC any site opens without any problem but while in phone it gives above error even for 1337x.to also.

How to turn on Private DNS Mode on Android - and why it matters for privacy

Turning on Private DNS Mode on Android ensures your searches and DNS queries are encrypted, keeping them safe from prying eyes. Here's what else you should know.

You can try private dns and if that doesn't fix it then best is to use VPN to download magnet link and then turn it off and download regularly.

After setting private dns to Cloudfare
I tested it using http://1.1.1.1/help
Then the below message is coming but

Using DNS over TLS (DoT) No

Is showing
It's saying Yes should come
Then only dns is working it seems
How to make it work?

Are you able to browse torrent sites now?

 

[bssunilreddy]

Are you able to browse torrent sites now?

No, but when I use any VPN then I can browse any torrent site or else no. It was giving the same SSL Handshake failed error. Why is this so?
I also changed the DNS from cloufare to google dns for both my PC & Android Phone.

Try cache clearing or a different browser maybe..

I am out of more ideas now..

This. Seems like ISP is blocking the site using their DPI whatever... if there is a tool like GoodByeDPI for mobile that might help.
