   Yes, I tried to do something this morning and was hosed. Very annoying. I just checked again and they are still scrubbing Google.

   I looked up their technical contact in whois and called them. Hopefully they’ll get it taken care of soon.

   I was running our whole church on it, you can guess how many calls we got it the morning when they couldn’t access Google!

   [...] David Szpunar posted about a new Adult Site Blocking service from OpenDNS this morning. This is great news, as that I have had great experience with OpenDNS and so far they have been extremely reliable and responsive. After ScrubIT blocked Google.com, I was hesitant to re-enable them on the church network (especially since we never got a response about what happened). [...]
