    Default Certain sites blocked.

    I am quite surprised that it actually went thru, went to search for some new media files and got a nice Iinet message saying site was blocked.

    As others have said when Telstra did it, I just changed the computer DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and it was fixed in seconds. Hopefully iinet have used the same method.
