It's all starting to make sense now, child pornography, Gold Coast, male nurse fetishes, tracksuit pants. Hmmmm.......
don't even think about naming people on the web on such topics - I was on a jury for an online grooming case and was amazed by the extent of the surveillance. Overall, it's a good thing that scumbags are being monitored, but too easy for innocent people or sites to be smeared, as in this case.
Yeah, I got a reply from Telstra, the 18th of this month they are sending Telstra premium support to my house , bloody waste of time , if they could understand English they would realise it is a filter on their side Remember Ants ? He might be able to fix this
Don Maurizio, they no speaka da english so I canna not get it thru their thick head to fix the blocked access list
Don Giovanni, I can't believe they're going to send someone over to your place in 3 weeks time,,get them to bring some some beers over

They are Fopeless... What does "We there is no known issue with regards to the said website" mean? Obviously if they're trying to access the website in the Phillipines it would work.. I'm still waiting for my reply from them as well..
Depends on what access Telstra have given them, they might VPN into the Telstra cloud and then access the internet which "should " give them the same problem All the same they are Fopeless <==== good use for the "word"
I think that's Telstras reply to everything that isn't a major reported outage... translation 'can't be bothered'.
John, I spent some time this arvo on the phone with a techy in Qld, he changed DNS figures and hello it worked. Until he logged off that is and the next guy said there is nothing that can be done if changing the DNS didn't fix it.
Kenny, the DNS (domain name resolver) is just a database that links names to IP addresses. The real problem is the blocked access database where they block URLs (blacklist) if they are deemed dangerous by Telstra I just tried connecting to the fchat IP and go a different message to the Interpol splash page, this time it was a sorry, either : a. the IP address has changed b. there has been a server misconfiguration c. the site may have been moved to a different server So a bit later I'll try clearing the DNS cache and load the IP 184.173.106.34 (this is what fchat resolves to according to my PC)
It can , they just have to get to the right person. Use a VPN Kenny ====== go here : http://us.hotfreevpn.com/ Follow the bouncing ball and use the L2TP option, If you have any problems send me an email and I'll send you a step by step for setting it up, if you're running Windows it's simple and Apple is even easier. If you're running any Apple device L2TP is the only supported option, they canned PPTP earlier this year
it didn't work , and I sort of didn't expect it to. Once a site has been blacklisted you have to jump a few hoops to get it cleared. https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=blacklist%3awww.ferrarichat.com&run=toolpage Fchat comes up clean so it has to be a Telstra issue
