SafeSearch Not working for Google

Starting yesterday NextDNS SafeSearch functionality stopped working correctly for Google searches.  When trying to do a search with Firefox or Chrome the website times out.  If I disable SafeSearch in NextDNS searches return to normal but without the SafeSearch functionality.  My (slightly educated) guess is that google does not use the domain name you are redirecting to anymore for safe searches.

Please resolve if possible.

Thanks and thanks for your product too!

    Turned out to be a Comcast routing issue not a NextDNS problem.

    The address 216.239.38.120 (forcesafesearch.google.com) was not being routed correctly by Comcast's network. Googles website and all NextDNS redirects are working as expected. If you are having this issue try doing a trace route to forcesafesearch.google.com using both Comcast and a different internet provider and compare the results.
