Website blocked behind router

There is a website that I was accessing just fine up until this Monday. Now all attempts at access to it time out. Pings of the site time out and a tracert gets to the hop right before the site and then it times out. This happens for any computer in my house. I'm using an E3000 router.
If I connect a PC directly to my internet providers box, bypassing the router, I can get to the site just fine, I can ping it, and tracert successfully hops its way to it.
I've rebooted the router and looked all through it but I can't find any reason why I can't get to this website while behind the router. I hadn't changed any setting on the router in months so I never suspected it was the problem until my ISP had me bypass it.
Any ideas of what might be going on and how to fix it? I work from home and this site is one of my company's customers so I can't do any work on the site which is not good.

Ping test the site directly connected and connected through the router. See if both pings are going to  the same IP Address.
Also do tracert command to the website direct and through the router. Usually with this issue they take different routes to the website.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

  • Setting Up Website Blocking on WRT310N Router

    I need some help setting up website blocking.  I have set up access restrictions for selected times and days but I also want to set up access restrictions for webistes.  Perhaps I'm just not clear on how this is supposed to work - I created a policy called 'Site' and then enter the URL in the website blocking area.  The options under the 'Access Restrictions' area are either 'Allow' or 'Deny' - intuitively one would assume the selection should be 'Deny' since this policy is to block access to specific URL's.  However, if I click 'Deny' and then save, then the URL's I just entered are cleared.  However, if I select 'Allow' then I am essentially giving 24hour access every day to my computers (but blocking the URLs), which then seems to go against the access restrictions I set up for selected times and days.  Perhaps these two policies are mutually exclusive but it does not seem clear that it is.
    Can someone give me some guidance on how this is supposed to work because it just does not appear to be intuiative to me - FYI, I'm somewhat technical but I must be missing something here.  HELP!

    You need to create 2 different policies. The policy for hours/days should be separate from the website blocking policy. For hours/days, you should select “Deny” and select the time or day that the computers would not be able to access internet. Click save settings. After doing so, create policy # 2, put a policy name, select allow, check Everyday, check 24 hours and in the URL boxes, type the website you want to block. You can also block by keyword, just enter the keyword in the “Website Blocking by Keyword” boxes. Click save settings after. Now you already configured 2 policies that should work hand in hand.
    Note: You should enable the 2 policies setup.

    Those sites have a random connection and DNS entries. Your best bet would be to use a DNS servcie like DDNS.com or OpenDNS.com service. Point your router to one of those DNS services and there DNS addresses, then set up one of those services to block FB and Twitter. If you use there DNS addresses on your router instead of the ISP DNS, and you block FB and Twitter, users should beable to get to FB or Twitter after that.

  • Website Blocking? WRT350N Firmware Version: v1.03.7

    I am trying to block a few websites through the router, but no matter what I put in, it will not block anything.  Any particular reason why.  I have other Linksys routers that work just fine, but this model will not work for me.  The USB hard drive like this not work either.  Any suggestions on either.

    Download Firmware 6.27 MB...This is the same firmware you already have on your router...
    I would suggest you to flash the router's firmware and reset it and re-configure it...
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...See if that makes any difference...
    NOTE : Make sure no USB Drive is connecting while upgrading or resetting the router...

  • Website Blocker wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this.

    Every time my MAC Pro starts up there is the pop-up window "Website Blocker wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
    I'm running Yosemite, but the problem also existed in Maverick. This happens even before any application is started.
    If I type my password the window closes but will appear again at the next start up.
    Did anybody see this problem before?

    I have exactly the same problem.  It keeps asking for the admin password whenever I delete a file.  Annoying!  And guess what , after typing in the PW and deleting the file, the trash can is still empty! The deleted files just disappeared!!
    So I checked my permissions, everything looked fine (i have perfect read and write rights), but i still used the Disk Utility to repair the permission, but it didn't solve the problem.
    I read some article online, saying that BatChmod can crack it. I downloaded the file and tried it, well, it worked 50%, I now see the deleted files sitting in the trash can, but I still have to type in PW to delete files.....
    This problem just came up today out of the blue, I'm not using any mobile disk or network disk by the way...
    So anyone have any idea how to fix this annoying thingy? 
    Thanks in advance!

  • Dynamic dns update client for archbox behind router?

    Yeah, that one just don't cut the mustard.  Try "ddclient".  I started a thread a long time ago comparing different dyndns clients, and found "ddclient" had the richest feature set, including a lot of support for you router folk.

  • ServerSocket.. behind router...

    I wrote a peer-to-peer application once with some gaming interfaces for roleplaying online... It was not a major technical feat...
    Basically, it worked with a registry server that listened for connections, and helped facilitate connecting the clients to each other. This registry server published its current whereabouts on a static web server (cxtable.sourceforge.net, for the time being)... and then the rest happened without a relay.
    At the time, I was a dialup user... so it never occurred to me to figure out how to handle "behind-a-router" situations. Now I have a cable modem, and it is behind a router so the other machines in my network (sometimes my laptop so I can work from home) can have access as well..
    Naturally--this assigns a "192.168.1.x" type address....so now I am wondering.. is there a way to do this?
    I searched the forums, and of the 20 hits for "behind router" I got, the following 4 looked most directly related to my issue:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=11&thread=191572
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=11&thread=165384
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=11&thread=503235
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=11&thread=530336
    Two of them look basically unanswered, and two of them answered with no resolution (and no Dukes even awarded for trying!)
    Is there a dynamic way to bind a ServerSocket when behind a router such that it could accept connections?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    And I imagine if I look hard enough, I'll find a way
    to determine my router's IP programatically..That may be tougher. I don't know of anything in
    java.net that will do that. (Doesn't mean it's not
    there though.)
    In Unix and DOS there are command line programs like
    ifconfig, ipconfig, and route that wil give you
    information that you might be able to parse. I think
    you want to look for default gateway.
    On the other hand, if your router is always connected,
    its IP address probably changes very infrequently, if
    at all, so finding that IP address programmatically
    may be more trouble than it's worth.My code has to assume that the IP address can change (it is a p2p-ish application..I use the term lightly--it is more of an "intranet over the net" type of p2p rather than a scalable N-node p2p.) regularly...and that I won't specifically know it.
    Ideally--the user wouldn't need to know his IP address to use the software... in the end.. it really is a nearing-on-orphan project... and I found someone who felt it mostly met his needs for something--a possible maintainer to hand it off to.
    It is actually my first project that taught me Java (years ago)... my second was a children's programming language(http://dustyscript.sourceforge.net)...
    I think the code for the p2p app((http://cxtable.sourceforge.net)) is terrible, and poorly documented, and probably the whole thing should be re-designed from the ground up... but it works for its purpose (Connecting multi-players to a chat-room with dice and other potential plugins so they can play an RPG {such as Dungeons and Dragons...etc}... but still do it as IF they were playing traditionally, sitting around a table)
    The key is that now most people have a cable modem-- it will most likely still work for them -- but those more advanced people with routers/etc .. might have issues--but then, that again says that if they have routers/etc...they probably know what their IP address is and could type it in..

  • How can I unblock a website blocked by Firefox?

    When I try to click on a link to www.bookbub.com/ in Google Reader and feedly, I get the following message:
    "Firefox prevented this site from opening 1 popup window", with an option box to either:
    option 1 - "Block popups from google.com" (or feedly.com) - I want the opposite of this!
    option 2 - "Edit popup blocker options"
    option 3 - "Show www.bookbub.com/deals"
    If I click on option 3 ("Show www.bookbub.com/deals"), this website is still being blocked.
    If I choose option 2 (allow popups from google and feedly), this website is still being blocked.
    So, in Firefox Options settings, the popup blocker box is now unticked - popups are unblocked - but this website is still being blocked.
    This is the only site which is blocked. All links to other websites open correctly from Google Reader and/or Google Search. To bypass this unwanted block and access the website, I have to type the url in the address bar.
    I would much prefer to simply open it as I do with all other websites from Google reader or feedly, with a simple click on a link.
    Suggestions welcome, thank you.
    Edited to add:
    Same problem when clicking on a link to this website from Google Search (website blocked by Firefox), yet no such problem when clicking the link within *this* post... ?!
    No problem whatsoever opening the website from any link in Chrome.

    After several checks, the website appears to be blocked by Adblock Plus and/or Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon.
    The message was clearly marked "*Firefox* prevented this popup" and I never even thought of looking elsewhere.
    I will trawl through the filters to find the blocking rule.
    Thanks a lot for the reply.

  • Can't access locally hosted website from behind the router, but can outside

    Hi, I recently had to be moved from ATT DSL to U-verse. At home I host a small non-commercial website with a domain name registered, listening on port 80.  I can access the website if signed in to my employer's VPN at home, but not from any machine in my home network.  This worked for a few days after switching, but then suddenly stopped working. Any idea what's going on and if it can be fixed? Since I can get to it from VPN, I assume folks outside of U-verse can see it.  How about folks with U-verse as their ISP?  The web site is http://www.jtlanguage.com. Thanks. -John 

    I suspect that the U-Verse RG is smart enough to see that the IP address you are attempting to route to is itself, and it is not applying the port forwarding to traffic coming from internal addresses as it is from external traffic arriving (since the traffic is coming from behind the firewall, not outside it).  If this is the case, you could put a hosts file entry on your local machines to identify the internal IP address rather than the external IP address for the web server, so that the computers go directly to the machine behind the firewall.

    The Access Restrictions feature of a Linksys router allows you to limit Internet access on your network.  You can deny certain computers’ Internet access or block certain applications and services.

  • WRT54G2, FW 1.5.01 - Website Blocking by URL Causing Router to Reboot?

    Has anyone seen an issue with the use of this feature causing the router to reboot frequently? Seems to be more prevalent with the amount of traffic. Router recovers but drops all wireless clients and real time protocol (voice) sessions are interrupted. I only had 3 rather short request URIs blocked--wasn't asking too much of the thing. Soon as they were removed, router was steady as a rock...
    Anyone else seen the same thing/found a solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hard-reset the router for 45 seconds and try to configure the router again...

    Hi
    I can't open the Twitter website. Actually I can not open any Twitter website. I have installed the Twitter app for OS X which works fine. When I sign in as guest I can access Twitter without any problems. The Twitter apps on my iPad Air and my iPhone 5 work fine as well. The specifications of my system are:
    Device: MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3;
    Operating system: OS X 10.9.4;
    Browser: Safari 7.0.6.
    Since I don't "mess around" with my software, don't do many customizations, don't install extensions etc. my software should be rather close to its default settings. Which is what makes me wonder even more why I have this problem.
    Maybe it's pure coincidence that Twitter's site is affected but it is the only one that causes this problem I could find so far. Maybe someone has the same problem or knows what could have caused this issue. Since I'm not very tech-savvy I would need a piece of advice that takes this fact into respect.
    Thank you very much for your effort and your help in advance!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press thereturn key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press returnthree times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post."
