Problems connecting to EE website

Tuning in

Is anyone else experiencing issues connecting to the EE website at all, as it seems that their incompetent DDOS provider is blocking some VM IP address.. 


I can see from Wireshark logs Incapsula (Impervia) are redirecting the DNS requests, but trying to get EE to do anything is like pulling teeth

Do a traceroute if you can.

Its not a traceroute issue, nor is it a routing issue with VM, as if I use VPN it works, when i use split tunnelling. It is defo an IP Block..

I know what I am looking at thanks....

The webpage comes up with BLOCKED on a standard html page, and when looking at the TCP logs in Wireshark, I can see the DNS Intecept by Impervia who do the DDOS mitigation for EE.
