All my social networking and gaming sites etc have been blocked by opendns... why has this happened?
I tried logging on to my facebook page on friday and this is what appeared on screen...
This domain is blocked. Site blocked. http://www.facebook.com is not allowed on this network and has been blocked by Brothers of Charity Southern Services. I have no idea how or why this happened but i can't get on any sites like twitter, facebook, bebo etc or even gaming sites. I had never even heard of opendns before this and my network don't really have a clue whats going on, we can't get any answers... Ads |

OpenDNS – What is OpenDNS If you are a parent worried about kids visiting adult websites on the home computer, you can configure OpenDNS to block any adult website from loading on the computer. In fact, quite a few business places use OpenDNS to block social sites like MySpace and Facebook on employee computers. Power users can assign abbreviations or OpenDNS Shortcuts to access their favourite websites more quickly. For instance, you can set “mail†as a shortcut for http://www.reallylongname.com – just type the shortcut to access the site. A good alternative for browser based bookmarks and it works across all computers where you have logged in to your OpenDNS account. to turn it on? To use OpenDNS, all you have to do is open your Network Connections or Router’s settings page and update the default DNS server to point to the OpenDNS nameservers that are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. The whole process takes a few seconds but with this single step alone, you just made your computer safer and increased the overall browsing speed. Here’s why: Unlike the DNS servers of your less reliable ISP, OpenDNS servers store the IP addresses of millions of websites in their cache so it would take less time to resolve your requests. So if you have asked for an IP address of a website that has been previously requested by another OpenDNS user, you will get the reply instantly. So to turn it off do the above and set DNS to automatic Ads |
