I need to connect to www.raterhub.com on my pc for my work. If I try on the pc it just times out, if I connect using my phone through wifi it's the same, however, if I use my phones data it connects fine (I can not use my phone for work though).
Have Talktalk suddenly started blocking the one website I need for my work?

Hi @Chris-TalkTalk 
It's the same, however, I think I have further tracked the problem down to using a different Chrome profile to access my work, although I've been through all the chrome settings and can't see any obvious differences in the profiles... both are logged into Google and are not using incognito mode or anything like that.
Very strange, but for the minute I'll just have to continue using googles DNS.

Hi

 

Not sure why this happened, and no changes have been made here that I'm aware of.  I tested the site earlier on my own line and it was working correctly so I don't think it was the site itself.  There may have been a local routing issue.  If it fails again, run a few traceroutes to the site and keep hold of these so we can see if they show any issues.

 

Karl.

@Karl-TalkTalk any idea why this happened? And if it happens again would it likely be fixed by changing dns again?

Hi skoobz

 

We wouldn't block this. Have you tried a different DNS (just for testing)

thanks @Debbie-TalkTalk , no I do not have a different router I'm afraid, but can not see why a router would suddenly start blocking one specific website? The website works on my phone data, so it's definitely not the site that has an issue, it is being blocked by something at talktalk, just like last time.

Hi skoobz

 

Thanks for testing this. We are unable to replicate this issue.

 

Do you have a different router that you can test with?

Hi,

 

Have you also tried clearing the browser history/cache and tested again? Does it happen on a different browser?

 

Thanks
