All you are doing is passing data onto a unknown party. You shouldn't turn off safe browsing for these ISPs. Changing your DNS in your network settings to one that works, such as googles 8.8.8.8 which has the correct IP assigned will fix the issue.

tribal vixen.2109 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I attempted to log onto GW2 on my mobile hotspot, and I got into the game. The provider is Telstra for both mobile and broadband (go figure why I can get in on one but not the other), so if you have the ability to do that, give it a try.

Well, if you actually read _my posts_ in the thread you'll see I didn't exclusively say it was _Telstra solely_, it was Telstra in my case. I did mention and give links to Virgin, and I never claimed that it would actually fix everything. But it worked for me and our household, and I'm trying to help. If you feel you've got a better solution that encompasses everything, by all means please let us know as we're all trying to get back online. I don't have any problems connecting now, and having shown the steps I took to fix _my issue_ I'm happy. Just seems very odd that if you re-enable the Protect service on _my end_, it prompts _me_ with a redirect page that says, it's being blocked by Telstra's WebSafe feature for malicious content, which is in fact contained by the Broadband Protect service as I can tell. Seeing as how several people have also tried this with some success, perhaps you should flush your DNS or try rebooting, or any number of the other solutions also posted here. Sorry it didn't work for you, but I guess that's really what you get when you're trying workarounds posted by non-affiliated person to ANet my friend. Best of luck getting back in. > @"HeNnAz.8913" said: > [...] the telstra broadband protect, and what did it do before I delete it and what will I lose when I do? > It STILL didn't work lmfao I suggest you search their help articles for a more detailed explanation, as I mentioned I'm not getting paid to do this so really it's up to everyone else and taking a little initiative at this point. I suggest rebooting the router too because, you know those settings don't magically change either. There's plenty of options you can try, run through the steps and report back. There's clearly not one solution because everyone is experiencing differing problems all under the same umbrella. > @"Kalemar.4873" said: > That's because for Telstra and some other ISPs, the DNS for cligate.101.ncplatform.net is NOT pointing to an ANET.

I think you need to check the thread however, as a lot people are reporting this doesn't solve the issue, but that being said, for some it has. Considering that I've given my two cents and it's pretty much being butchered because people are getting their panties in a knot over not being able to connect, I'm going to let it slide and say good luck to everyone. It's not like I didn't also mention this solution in my original post either, because I definitely didn't; oh wait. I totally did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like I didn't also mention this solution in my original post either, because I definitely didn't; oh wait. I totally did. So I read back. Everyone who set their DNS to use 8.8.8.8 that I pointed out over 10 hours ago (back on page 3) has reported successful logins. If that doesn't fix it then running the GW2.exe -diag will give information about why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sethman.5830 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Removing the Telstra protect fixed it for me straight away in Australia. Didn't need a reboot or anything. It sounded like a big brother spy program anyway. End users should not be playing around with DNS settings that will likely cause problems down the track.

Kalemar.4873 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I did a test of all Telstra primary DNS's and found that NSW, ViC, QLD and WA nslookup for me are reporting correctly. Those using TAS, ACT and SA are reporting incorrect IP. The SA DNS is actually looks like a Malicious IP. Those using the TAS, ACT and SA DNS, disabling Websafe is very unlikely to fix the issue. Should work for the other states though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
