    how clever to report Fchat as a kiddie porn site, just makes it miserable for all you guys.

    I know Rob is working on it, but right now, not too good.

    Could you access it through an anonymizer? or a VPN?

    Whatever I can get for free. When the trial expires, I use another. Hopefully it's only temporary.

    I finally gave in and downloaded a VPN to get back on the forum.

    What a joke!

    I have talked to Telstra, they were about as much help as tits on a bull.

    Hope they get something sorted soon, I don't want to keep downloading free VPNs forever. :p

    I doubt 'anyone' did - just another Telstra foulup is what I'd put money on...

    So am I, this is a deliberate act and when Interpol looks into it the person responsible will be in DEEP trouble ..... I hope it is FF, he deserves a reef up the ring, he's a ****

    According to Rob, Telstra told him that FC was flagged for potential kiddie porn by a user or other party. They would not tell him who it was or let him contact them directly, of course, but apparently they didn't do any real research, either.

    Have you guys tried the alternate www.thebestemployee.com ??

    I use Astrill for VPN, worked really well for Turkey and now Telstra. Cost is reasonably and don't get speed issues or anything.

    Didn't think I would need it in Australia for fchat. Also report false blocking of site to Interpol and Telstra.

    Alternative to getting a VPN, you can change your DNS servers in your router/modem from Telstra DNS to either
    OpenDNS 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
    or GoogleDNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

    This seems like a simple, yet elegant solution!!

    If you're computer illiterate, like me, your DNS settings are in the networking portion of your settings, somewhere. :D
