Talk Talk & Imgur

SidNewton

Any Talk Talk users experiencing problems accessing Imgur? For the past week I can't access their site nor can I view any images on here that are hosted by Imgur. No problems at work with either my phone or works computer.
They've had this problem before back in 2016 when Talk Tallk decided to block Imgur for no good reason.

I had an issue with Vodaphone and got a workaround by adding a port 8888 or such in the router setting menu after connecting to the router's IP address (pop the set of numbers into your internet browser address bar, 192. Etc, usually on a sticker on the back of the router). Google the issue

Change your routers DNS server to use googles instead (8.8.8.8). Same thing with Vodafone broadband fwiw.

TBH I don't know which will be quicker:

Understanding the above

or waiting for TalkTalk to resolve the issue

This is what I did too, takes a minute or so. If you need step by step instructions no problem drop me a PM

Yep, had the same thing on Vodafone. Changing to Google's DNS settings fixed it.

Hallelujah and thanks to all those engineers working slavishly without rest and in inadequate conditions, we now have a resolution.
