Something most unusual happened the last 2 days.
Starting on 14th, I was unable to reach this site. It was auto-blocked by a service (which was claimed to be free, albeit I've not subscribed to any service at all) called OpenDNS. It was claimed that this site is phishing. I've made a screenshot of this issue.
Did any one else ever experienced something similar?
And in how far is this OpenDNS service actually even trustworthy enough (or eligible to make such claims)?

When I drop back to using my ISP's DNS servers (like I'm doing now to post this) I can access SFM normally. I've never run across OpenDNS blocking a site that I use before.
Could it be related to this recent thread? http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/showthread.php?80468-has-this-site-been-hacked
I wouldn't know why their block would apply to someone who hasn't set things up to use their DNS servers though (208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220 for the record)...
I sent them feedback, but no reply.
I've a hunch, I'll check that one tomorrow when I return home.
I'm running via a proxy-system to help keep your privacy. I thought that this DNS-stuff tries to inhibit privacy services, so I deactivated it. But it's still blocked...
And why? Because they supply a service I never asked.
