Smile Can't access youtube.


I have a Debian based distribution.

What happens:

Mostly after updating, and some other random times, for over a year or so, I can't access youtube.com.I get the "Server not found
Iceweasel can't find the server at www.youtube.com." in iceweasel, and the "This webpage is not available" in chromium.
Also, I just tried to enter this site: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/, and I get the same situation.(I can access google.com,though)

What I tried so far:

I can access youtube.com via proxy,also from another computer, and the same computer with another OS.I already tried doing the restart with add-ons disabled, and it doesn't work.
Just one time long ago someone fixed it for me, just momentarily, I guess.I recall something like pinging and tracerouting, and then adding some info to a file, but I can't remember which.

Recent outputs:

I did a reverse lookup:

$host 200.115.95.45
Host 45.95.115.200.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Ping:

--- youtube.com ping statistics ---
14 packets transmitted, 13 received, 7% packet loss, time 13020ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 30.564/59.355/158.655/49.269 ms

Traceroute seems ok.

Iptables:

$ iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Resolv.conf:

$cat resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 192.168.1.1


Ok, now I want to discover exactly the culprit for this behaviour.I don't want the change for Google DNS 8.8.8.8 workaround, I will just try that only for troubleshooting.Again, I want to identify the error.
Let me see what you got!

would be nice to know how did you try ping and traceroute (with ip or with hostname) what is your DNS, what is your routing table? Do you have your own DNS? how is it configured?

your resolv.conf points to a private IP

try adding 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4

Guess what, just today is working, so it's those things that are hard to solve, just because there's no time to troubleshoot it.
