Is any one here facing this problem I use OpenDNS & am being blocked from Facebook. Even imgur.com is blocked so I cant even post a screen shot '

In Firefox I got this
'This domain is blocked. Site cannot be accessed on you network. Kindly contact your local ISP. www.facebook.com is not allowed on this network.
This site was categorized in: Social networking
Contact your network administrator'


'In IE 10 I got this
'
There is a problem with this website's security certificate.

The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server. '

It could be because MTNL uses a dynamic IP, so someone who had the IP you have at the moment may have blocked facebook and imgur using open DNS, so its blocked for you.

Right. Next time this happens. Reboot your modem to get a new IP. OpenDNS has this major issue. If you land on an IP that was configured with blocks in the past, these blocks are applied on your connection too.
