Hello,
Over the past few days, when I use my smartphone (or computer) connected to the LAN (Verizon FiOS - Actiontec router - rev i), I am unable to get to some sites (s4gru.com or kwiksetkevo.com). The browser returns a "couldn't connect message. If I switch to my smartphone's LTE connection, I can connect to these sites without a problem.
On both devices, I have tried to use DHCP, and then switched to a static IP (with Google's DNS servers) - no difference. I have been able to get to these sites till last week.
I called Verizon yesterday, and they indicated that mxtoolbox indicates that my IP is blacklisted on SORBS DUHL & Spamhaus ZEN. They tried to reset/restart my router and give me a new IP, but my IP still appears to be the same. (phone call dropped, so couldn't verify that with the Verizon technician on the call).
Reading at those sites, it doesn't look like my IP is actually blacklisted - spamhaus's site for example indicates that my IP (part of the IP range actually) is on PBL398013, and the FAQ for that states "The first thing to know is: THE PBL IS NOT A BLACKLIST. You are not listed for spamming or for anything you have done. The PBL is simply a list of all of the world's dynamic IP space, i.e: IP ranges normally assigned to ISP broadband customers (DSL, DHCP, PPP, cable, dialup). It is perfectly normal for dynamic IP addresses to be listed on the PBL.". So, I guess I'm not sure what the issue is.
Here's the tracert result from my PC for s4gru.com.
