Can't open some Chinese websites

[kenming]

I can't open some Chinese websites, such as:  cn.aliyun.com; www.baidu.com; etc...

I tried to restore to manufacture of the router but still not working.

What should I do? I need these websites very often and I have to use VPN to open these websites right now.

Thank you, please help me.

Exactly what message do you get when you try to open either web-site?

If you or a friend has another device (laptop, desktop, smart-phone) that can connect (wired or WiFi) to your Shaw router, can you connect?

I had no problem opening either web-site -- Windows computer, with a Hitron router.

What "Internet Security" package are you using? MacAfee? Norton Internet Security? Kaspersky? Could that software be blocking those sites?

Using a VPN "tunnels" all your Internet traffic to what seems to be a "non-blocked" IP-address, and then the VPN-server sends your traffic to those sites.  To me, that suggests that your computer is blocking traffic to some specific IP-addresses.

All my devices can not open those websites. include computer, smartphone and iPad, as long as connect to this router.

In addition, I don't have any security software on my computer, and it was doing well before yesterday, no any change in my computer.

Just from yesterday. many Chinese websites can not be opened.

I have a VPN which is connected to Chinese. Once I run it, then I can open those websites.

I don't think so it related to software, cause I don't have any change previously.

Once I was opening those websites, I have to wait about 30-60 seconds, then will show this page below:

I think this issue should related to the DNS server you allocate to me. This DNS server banned those websites.

It isn’t a problem with the Shaw DNS, those websites work fine for me.

We have different DNS, unless you close to me.

Try the google dns 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
