Hi, I have Vodafone and I believe all new connections come with the kiddie-safe content filter turned on. To get it switched off I had to either register on the website or call customer services. In either case I believe you have to provide a credit card number. ISTR they charge a pound to your card (then give you £2 back off your bill) as proof you are an adult.

If Vodafone is messing with DNS to do the re-direct, switching OS's will not alter the result. -- Life is too short. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk -------------------------------------------------------------- -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
