    Have been digging a little more in the little time I have spare at the moment - Seems DNS blacklists/redirect are not fully successfull.

Just concerned about what your router is doing when blocking "slingbox.com" does it just do a DNS lookup and block that IP? In my packet capture there's... Source: over 1 year ago
  • HARD RESET AFTER 11/9
