    ISP censorship

    Hm, since a few weeks I can't open various internet sites.
    Including apple.com (This at least works a little time, till I want to download something) and microsoft.com.. I've googled a bit and found also someone having the same problems like me with the same ISP.

    Do you think that the one and me just got the same router with the same problem? Or could it be censorship from the ISP?

    Yeah, like that's gonna help.

    Well shao, you could always try contacting your ISP and asking them if they've been banning websites throughout all their customers or just you. You might get some kind of answer.

    Set your self up a ssh pipe aka a Virtual Pipe :) means isp can't 'stop' you surfing sites, because they can't see what your looking at.

    Re: ISP censorship

    Hotspot Shield could be the simplest solution.

    It could also be a virus, someone editing your hosts file, or some sort of firewall/browser blocking that's gone wrong.

    Could be your ISP's DNS servers...

    I use OpenDNS.

    Re: ISP censorship

    I'm using http://www.alice-dsl.de/ .. But the funny thing is this page doesn't work also.
    I tried to open the sites on 3 different machines and 2 different os..
    So I guess it could be the router, I will try this opendns later today. Or change the router..

    Thanks for the help :)

    Re: ISP censorship

    Try open DNS instead of your isp's dns

    same happened to me a while back

    Re: ISP censorship

    Hmm I tried OpenDNS... On the site it says "Welcome to OpenDNS!" And it seems enabled, but microsoft.com and a hand full of other pages are still not working..

    Hmm I think the router might be f*cked up :/

    You think on my pc? Well then it should work on the 2 other machines, and the other os. But maybe the router is infected? Oo
