I'm finding it difficult to follow this thread now two subjects are being discussed.
Thanks.

Seconded

Is the DNS server the same as Phorm.com?

The standard VM DNS servers are shown:

194.168.4.100
194.168.8.100

Roadrunner69:

Except for the fact that as soon as I unblock phorm.com all functions normally. I doubt the server is going up and down at the exact moments I block/unblock phorm.com.

open one and point them to it to make life easyer, and they can jump beteen as required, but we will need to know this stuff at some point so dont stop posting this important knowhow.

Not just http, but ftp as well.

Heed - I'd take this to a new thread as requested.

If you can't even get to your local router status page then its unlikely to be a Phorm/DNS issue... Its more likely a misconfiguration of the firewall, isn't it? (correct me if I'm wrong).

I don't know. As I've said, I had those blocks up for a week or more. Just last night I started to see this behaviour.

I will send you a private message covering this. if any other poster wants the list, please send me a message.

Just one important point to clarify Portly_Giraffe regarding point 3:

3. The Home Office (outside of its immigration functions) is not an investigatory body. It is the role of the police to investigate allegations of unlawful interception.

While that may be true the Home Office does have an obligation to ensure that the police appropriately investigate crimes that are reported to them. The fact that the police have been obstructive when attempts have been made to report to them, that very clearly, imho, comes under the jurisdiction of the Home Office. They need to stop passing the buck and playing pass the parcel and get on with dealing with it.

I have to agree with you on this one, I am sure if we keep pressing the button they will get the message. Doubt any ISP will start Phorm while there is still so much publicuty on so we have to keep the pressure up can't sit back yet and relax.

Agreed.
But Simon Watkin and Andrew Knight are effectively pen-pushers offering advice to other, more directly active, departments with the Home Office.
All PG+F are trying to do is agree a common understanding of the framework of how RIPA operates.
I'd recommend leaving them to see how far they can quietly progress the discussion.
There's always the chance that Simon could revise his position and effectively 'force' the police to accept responsibility!

Good work, Portly_Giraffe and Florence. Thank you for your efforts.

Totally agree with keeping the pressure on. This afternoon I intend to respond to the response I got from one of my MEPs thanking her for her correspondence and to ask her to thank her colleague Don Foster (Lib-Dem spokesperson for culture, media and sport) for his time and involvement in the issue. [ If you remember he is the MP who has written to the BT chairman asking him to account for the BT secret trials. ]

Vis-a-vis the having to catch up with the thread on Sunday you made me really laugh out loud hard. I remember last week when my arthritis in my spine and neck was really playing up and I had a major bout of headaches. I had a few days away from the thread and came back to find I had about 700 posts to read that I had missed. You have been warned

This site show it as a sell, so not sure which direction its going!

Agreed. I believe what Portly_Giraffe and Florence are doing are doing is valuable and I hope that with time and their considerable effort that they may be able to get Simon to revise his position as you say. Whatever happens it appears they are making constructive headway and that certainly is to be welcomed

If that information is accurate then it shows sales of Phorm shares today totalling about 1million GBP so far today so that is encouraging.
