    OpenDNS has suddenly decided to block this domain on my network. It classifies it as "Portals, Search engines" but I have not told it to block either of these categories...

    Anyone else experiencing this? Looks like OpenDNS is having issues??

    "Looks like OpenDNS is having issues??"
    No, you are having issues. Your IP address is probably not updated in your dashboard, so may use another users's OpenDNS settings. Try to sync your IP address. If that doesn't work ("network already exists"), try to obtain another IP address from your ISP, maybe by disconnecting from and reconnecting to the internet.

    Btw, translate.google.co.uk is tagged and approved as Portals & Search engines.
    http://domain.opendns.com/translate.google.co.uk

    (Arrrgh, I voted on a few tags, and now it looks as if I had submitted them. :angry:
    An old bug, already discovered by @maintenance and others.)

    Erhm no, actually. I have a fixed IP address and the address showing in the dashboard matches my allocated fixed IP. I also verified the IP address on whatsmyip.org.

    And of course I don't have an issue with it being tagged as a Portal/Search Engine. It's just that I didn't ask OpenDNS to block either of these categories...

    I don't 'get' your comment in brackets. Clearly I'm stupid...

    Don't worry, this wasn't really for you, but for other readers...

    "And of course I don't have an issue with it being tagged as a Portal/Search Engine."
    I know, I didn't understand that as a concern from you.

    "I have a fixed IP address and the address showing in the dashboard matches my allocated fixed IP."
    Oops, this changes the picture dramatically. Please check your settings again, if you have checked one of those two categories by accident. If no, and if you are still being blocked after having flushed the browser cache and local resolver cache, then this is an OpenDNS bug, and you should open a ticket at http://www.opendns.com/support/contact/ including the information from http://www.opendns.com/support/article/208

    Open one nevertheless, and reference this thread. Opening a ticket just sends an e-mail to support, as far as I know.

    I've not had a response to the ticket raised, but it's working again this morning. Cool.
