I use my DLink router to block a few ad, #*$!, and tracking sites. When I do so, certain other seemingly unrelated sites are no longer available on my machine (401 The web site is blocked by administrator). But when I disconnect the router, all sites are available. An example: www.pcmag.com is not available to me when the router is connected, and of course I have not blocked pcmag.com.
How is it that a site unrelated to any of the sites I block becomes blocked?
