strange internet issue - come on you techies!

[Jeremy]

OK, from my PC, I can only access some websites. Google, Netflix, Facebook, and hotmail work. But Amazon, BBC news, and EDF won't load.

When I try from the Mac, I have the same problem.

However, using my phone (connected to the same WiFi) I can access any site, no problems.

What's going on?

Your parents have restricted your internet website access ?

You will be contacted soon Jeremy.

Sometimes depends which browser you're using... I can't always access sites through Chrome, but can through Safari...

As far as this forum's web hosting is concerned, it now appears to be running through Cloudflare.

Cloudflare is the biggest 'content delivery system' in the world.

The service has recently extended its IP blocking to include most VPNs, all TOR exit nodes and many other IP ranges.

It might be the cause of the OP's problems. It might also be the cause of the EDF/Hotmail issue.

Or not.

Malware?

Your router could be attempting to proxy DNS requests and failing.

Refer to the documentation that came with your router for instructions on disabling DNS proxying.
