I can *ping* it.  But can't connect with a browser using the same address.  www has no effect.

I am stipulating that I won't accept a contract if an installation cannot access the  addesses being blocked and others. blocked.

ALL the submitted addresses are redirected to Cloudflare and require an authentication header.
SiliconWizard:
I've been using OpenDNS for a few years.

But just looked, and it apparently now belongs to Cisco? >:(

I'd be very surprised if an HTTPS connection were intercepted in such a manner.

Wait.. you do connect via HTTPS exclusively when dealing with US ISPs, right?
rhb:
I use http/https unless other forms of interaction are more useful.  I was quite happy with sendmail and ftp.  But your own peer  sendmail instance is long gone and ftp increasingly rare.

I date from when they first allowed commercial entities on ARPANET and the name got changed to the Internet.  At the time I  used Usenet and bang path addresses.

Big question in my mind is who is behind this?
