My router has one built-in, but I haven't blocked any sites with it, certainly not github. Haven't even changed any settings on it lately. Although I'd have no idea what kind of crazy fucking shit my ISP might be pulling (Timer Warner - yea, they're not exactly known for basic competence.) The HTTP request goes out to them and then...the connection just sits there indefinitely...doing...nothing. Nothing gets sent back, the connection doesn't close. Everything else seems to work fine...Jusus christ...those stupid goddamn motherfuckers turned they're goddam "send him *our* page for every unmatched DNS request" bullshit back on, after I've already shut the fucking thing off twice in the last few years. Why won't these shitwads just fucking die already. Adelphia's leadership gets hauled off to jail, ok, fine, but then these Time Warner fuckwads are allowed to live and participate in society. Fuck, if I had my way anyone with an IQ below 100 would be institutionalized, and all middle and upper managers would be shot in the balls, then in the face. In any case it woudn't surprise me if this asinine bullshit is somehow what's causing the problem. Fuck Time Warner, and I hope all their kids get hepatitis and die.
