NBN Blocked Some Sites?

  I think all the NBN stuff is at layer 2, while any blocking of specific sites would have to be layer 3. So NBN could not technically block specific sites.
  Perhaps you are using a different ISP with NBN than you were using before? I went to the site and it seems to be a site that links to online file storage sites containing pirated movies, I couldn't see how you could 'watch" the movies, but maybe that comes with an account?

      works for me
      http://www.watchfreemovies.ch/watch-tv-shows/2014/watch-duck… (well theres a link on the site)
      And lots of suss links to trick you to watch, maybe you now have a virus or similar.

      Terrible site, and even with a popup blocker it still pops up and under a heap of windows. Would never visit again.

      sorry axel, this was for the OP.

  These sites make money by installing malware and such. It isn't a good way to access movies.
  Torrent sites are a little better, but you need to be cautious about software you download etc.
  It seems you are not a very technical computer user, so you might want to consider if accessing info this way is a good idea. For example, if you accidentally get the malware that encrypts all your hard drive, are you able to restore your files from back up? Can you afford to have a non-functioning computer for a few days while you sort it out?
  I don't let my kids use torrent/pirate sites unaccompanied as they are deliberately set up to try and trick you into installing malware.
  Kat.cr and thepiratebay.se are slightly more reputable, but they are still infested with dodgy stuff, and there are rumour TPB is now compromised by law enforcement, if that is a concern for you.
  https://torrentfreak.com/ is a reasonable site for information on piracy.

  NOTE …. Specific site blocking is NOT done by NBN.
  A neighbour who connected to NBN via Dodo does have some sites blocked.
  I am yet to find any blocked on my NBN connection through another provider.
  Some ISP's DO block certain sites. Check each ISP to find out which does what.
