    Is anyone else experiencing problems accessing the site via wifi this morning?
    I can access it with 4g but it's being blocked when I try to use wifi..
    All of my devices are blocking it,,I can access any other site just Ferrarichat is being blocked.

    I'm getting a message from Interpol stating that the website has been reported and blocked for child pornography reasons,,
    l thought it was a scam but every device in my house is showing the same message,but only with that website,switching to 4g and l can access it..

    4G seems to work. I'm guessing the site has been hacked

    Doesn't make sense to me. If the site was hacked, why would it work at all?

    3 out of 4 of the users above reporting problems are using Telstra as an ISP.

    It's possible that Telstra is blocking the Ferrarichat IP due to having received a false or erroneous complaint.

    Interesting - My Telstra 4G is ok but my Telstra broadband isn't.

    If it is really being blocked by Telstra, at least they're consistent.

    I'll bet it's somebody who has been banned and has called Telstra saying that this site is transmitting child pornography and without doing any due diligence some dunce has blocked it but it's a bit strange that 4G Telstra still works (oh , and vpns obviously)

    Hmmm... someone who's been banned (even if only in the F1 section), has a knowledge of networks, and has a petty and vindictive temperament - that's only 2 out of 3, so it can't be you :)

    I called Telstra Rob and being pretty useless they were going to put me through to Telstra Pemium where I pay to fix their problem !!!

    FFS, it's their network and they have a legitimate compliant from one of their long time users who has explained in great detail what is happening and all their " use another browser, run in incognito, try the latest version, etc etc ) has been done by me and I ask them to run a simple test (connect to the website, and they say they can't !!) and somehow this is where I get transferred to premium service where they say if they fix it then I pay !!!

    Now if I can get to fchat via 4G but not broadband they need to access the SPECIFIC server that controls URL filtering for ADSL/Cable/wifi and unblock the blocked service or remove the virus as indicated but just blanket charging end users for Telstra's incompetencies is piss poor service ................. anyone got TPG's number ?? :p

    What harm could it do?
