Parent Safe

Hi, not sure where to put this.

I have turned off safe search/parental controls. It is turned off in the settings in my virgin account. However, it is still blocking sites. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Re: Parent Safe

Try setting the DNS on you device manually, and use Google's DNS servers as a test.  They are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

If the sites are still blocked, then the fault is not with VM.

Re: Parent Safe

I will try when I get home.

The issue is Virgin though, if I try to go onto a site it comes up with the virgin splash page thst states the site is blocked due to the parental controls on, yet when I go into the account the controls are turned off.
