From looking at the URL, that is not a Xfinity website. Make sure to pay attention to the URL, if there is anything other than Xfinity.com involved, it would normally not be valid.

Did you look at the address? It is a valid xfinity.com address. DOH is "DNS over HTTPS".

Is it normal to be getting this? Thanks for checking that it is actually from Xfinity... Just don't know why I keep getting pinged by them. It just occurred randomly as well.
