Why am I being affected by OpenDNS?

Last night before I went to bed, everything was fine. This morning, however, I opened up google chrome and found that I was blocked from nearly every website I've tried to access. I use Bootcamp on a Mac Pro Tower, my OS X mirror running the most recent version Yosemite and the Windows parallel running on Windows 7, but I primarily use windows.

When I tried connecting to backpack.tf, a website used for pricing and listing items for an online game, a window popped up telling me that the domain had been blocked due to content filtering. (This can be seen in the first image.) This also happened when I tried looking up websites to see if anyone else had this problem, telling me they had been categorized as a foruming site.

When I tried accessing websites like YouTube or Reddit, it told me that my connection isn't private and that attackers might be trying to steal my information. It says that the certificate authority is invalid. (This can be seen in the second image.)

I have never associated with OpenDNS nor heard of it until this morning, but without my permission it seems to have taken ahold of my computer. I've tried using different browsers and booting into the Mac Bootcamp, but there is still no change. This desktop is the device being affected by this, because I've tested different computers and on my phone and I'm able to access all of these websites.

I have three different internets at my home, and no matter which I use, OpenDNS is still affecting me. I've tried using the Google IPv4 and IPv6 DNSes, but that hasn't helped either. At this point I do not know what to do, so I've come to techsupport for help.

OpenDNS?

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
