Question Comcast Router blocking EVGA Forum's...

[_dawn_chorus_]

So EVGA forums have been giving me a "cannot connect to server" type of error for a couple months now, I have narrowed it down to being on comcast and my router, as the only way I can access it is on my phone with wifi off. None of my 3 computers on any browser, nor my phone will load the page on wifi/ethernet.

So I went into router settings and there is no parental block..
what could possibly be causing this?? Where should I begin to look. It seems to only be the EVGA forum that won't work which is super strange.

Are you using Comcast's DNS servers, or another source like Google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)?

I found it and the DNS servers are not 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4

On one of your computers, change to Google's DNS and see if the site resolves.

Did not work. I was able to get on it at my school so its definitely my home network.. I set it all up though and there are no blocks on anything as far as I know. This is so strange..

Also I just discovered if I turn on my Kaspersky VPN trial I can get on the website... what does that tell us?
