| Websites won't load unless I use a proxy
I have a weird issue here where some websites aren't loading properly at home.
i.e. www.greenpois0n.com
I tried loading it on my computer and it wouldn't work so I tried my brother's laptop and got the same issue. We end up with a "server not found" error but the sites load up perfectly fine if I use my phone's wireless data to access it or an online proxy (i.e. http://zend2.com/)
I went into my Telus V1000H Actiontec router settings but I don't have that site on the blocked list.
Has anybody encountered this before? Any help? 
[edit] I also used spybot & ad-aware to remove spyware

check your hosts file maybe? Are you connecting from home or work? Seems to be blocked before it even hits your computer's connection

Checked my hosts file and all that's filled in is the following Quote:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1 newsleecher.com
127.0.0.1 www.newsleecher.com | | |

Ok.
I just tried to tracert greenpois0n.com
It doesn't work. I'm on Telus. Maybe they've blocked them out? HTTP doesn't work neither.

how the hell can they block sites like that? There has to be a better explanation
Can you connect to the cache subdomain? Try downloading the file: http://cache.greenpois0n.com/dl/gp_win_rc6.1.zip | |

If you're getting "Unable to resolve target system name", that should mean it's a DNS problem, not necessarily you're being blocked from accessing the site.
Do the following and paste me the output:
nslookup
> greenpois0n.com
> server 8.8.8.8
> greenpois0n.com
If that works, manually change your DNS servers in your network configuration to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (Google's DNS servers).
If that doesn't work, paste the output here.

I think it's DNS thing. I'm on Telus with Google's DNS, and I have no problem connecting.
It's lightning fast for that matter.

Looks like maybe Telus set up their DNS servers to do a manual override for greenpois0n.com so that it doesn't resolve properly... so it is censorship, but obviously not a complete one.
I mean, this is similar to what the US Government did with all those domains they seized... all they did was change where the domain name points to. If you knew the IP of the original site, you would still be able to access it directly.
No disrespect, but I'm actually surprised nobody else here instantly knew it was a DNS problem.

netstat -na | findstr LISTENING
Is there an entry for 0.0.0.0:8080?
If not, then SABnzbd is not running or working properly.
