Hi all, when I try to access this site on my iPhone via my home WiFi, I get shown a page saying that access is denied because the site has been reported as a 'phishing' site. It is fine when I access via 3G though. Any ideas?

PS my broadband ISP is Sky, and I'm with Orange (everything everywhere) for my data. Strange thing is it works just fine when I'm on the PC, but the minute I try to access the site on my iPhone (via WiFi at home) I get the redirecton to the phish.opendns.com site, even though I've cleared the cache, all cookies and the history in Safari for iPhone. I also get redirected using the Atomic Lite browser. I am flummoxed!

I'm Sky with Orange as well, no probs for me........though that probably doesn't help much
When using your iPhone at home, does your PC have different DNS settings than your iPhone? If so, are both devices connected to the same router?

They are both connected to the same router. I'm not really sure how I'd go about checking the DNS settings, or what they should be. I'm not at home right now to check though.

iPhone: In the list of Wifi-networks, tap the blue arrow on the selected network. You'll see a list with funny numbers, including your DNS.

I'll have a look when I get home later.

I can confirm the phishing attempt - it's gone now.

I still can't access the site via wifi on the iPhone. Is there a procedure I need to follow to enable it to reconnect (it's still only this site affected)

Report do Opendns that this is not a phishing site. There should be a link or a form on that warning page.

This site is now blocked on my work internet due to Opendns.

I received an email earlier this evening from opendns saying that they'd looked into my complaint, and the 'phishing' flag had been removed. I'm now able to access the site on my wifi again :-)
