Google pages not loading in Safari after wake from sleep

    Anyone else have this problem?

    It's sporadic and goes away after a minute or so, but I've been experiencing it since 10.11 at least, possibly earlier. Only affects Google pages, other sites are fine. My particular setup may be contributing to it, and it's worse on my new Mac, but the fact that it only affects Google suggests a MacOS/Safari problem as well. When it doesn't go away by itself, relaunching Safari always fixes it. Maybe an issue with Apple's DNS caching?

    I have similar symptoms but a "known" issue (as in they have been informed but doing little about) in the eir bb routers. Similar dns /dhcp lookup issues where ping (e.g. Google) works but www. doesn't. Sporadic but not limited to google sites- just wake from sleep.

    Anyone else have this problem? I’m not with Eir and it only affects Google sites. Switching to Google’s DNS doesn’t work.

    Yep - my wife had the same thing on her MacBook. Never did find a fix...

    Finally seem to have resolved this. I swapped out my Technicolor TC7200/Airport Express combo for a Virgin Media Super Hub 3 and the problem is gone. Technically my former setup resulted in a double NAT, which I assume was the source of this problem. I had the Airport behind a DMZ which should have overcome most of the issues caused by a double NAT, but obviously not all. I still blame Safari and whatever weird way it accesses Google sites. The Super Hub supports proper bridge mode, so I could put the Airport back but it wasn't really able to handle all the devices on my network anymore.
