Just  discovered my TalkTalk router (Sagam) is blocking access to my Macrium update accounts. Anybody else found similar issues? What to do about it?

The router will not block any outgoing traffic. Things like Homesafe & KidsSafe might, then there could be an issue on the network. You could try using another DNS server, such as Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). To do this, log in to your router & go to:-

 

Dashboard > See internet settings > Manage advanced settings > Internet connectivity > DNS IPv4

Then, change the DNS dropdown box to Manually Specify DNS. Then set DNS 1 & DNS 2 to Google DNS as mentioned previously and apply the settings.

 

If none of that helps, then to identify where the problem is, please can you PM me (to preserve your privacy) a trace route to the site in question?
