...I can't use Codex without a proxy at the moment :(. Any suggestions? It has happened before but can take a while (weeks sometimes) to correct itself.

Seems to be working ok now. What would cause Codex to be blocked though?

Just Codex? Do you have a router? Maybe your dad blocked Codex on certain days or times :p

I don't live with my dad so that possibility can be ruled out :p. Yeah I have a router and it has happened to a couple of other sites come to think of it. Happened to LPC recently.....

It's odd that that just happens randomly O_o. Do you have any restrictive policies set on your router?

None that I am aware of.

I just tried to get on Codex a few minutes ago and I just got the 'page cannot be displayed message'...then I instantly tried again and up came Codex :x3:

As a default, your computer is set to pull the DNS lists from your ISP, but there is an open and free project called OpenDNS, where you can use a DNS not set by your ISP. It fixed my problem of not being able to find the Windows Download Servers

I use OpenDNS too, I find it to be a lot quicker than just my ISP assigned one.

Absolutely nothing to download. You just have to change your interenet settings and OpenDNS works for you for free. Check out their site, they're awesome and legit.

You're not alone on that one. Happens to me all the time since the upgrade.
Who is your ISP?

No, you just need to change your DNS nameservers to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.

It tells you how to do it at:

https://www.opendns.com/start/

If you choose to do it on your router then all your computers on that network will use OpenDNS instead of having to do it on each one individually.
