How do you unblock disqus.com

jbug77 — Sun, 25 May 2014 16:00:23 GMT

I read a lot of comment sections and what not and disqus seems to be very popular. I added www.dsqus.com to my never block list, flushed dns cache, updated opendns with the tool and I can not get it to unblock. I have social networking blocked and I was not sure if I needed to unblock more domains for disqus to work or not?

"I added www.dsqus.com to my never block list"

Remove this and add disqus.com instead to the never block list, then flush your local resolver and browser caches again. This should be it.

"updated opendns with the tool"

What? What tool is this about?

You may also need to unblock disquscdn.com in the event that it becomes tagged in the future. Right now, you don't need to do so.

To unblock Disqus, please add disqus.com as well as disquscdn.com to your whitelist using the instructions at https://support.opendns.com/entries/34435010-Getting-Started-Blocking-Allowing-Specific-Domains-with-Whitelist-Blacklist. Be sure to flush your DNS cache afterwards as well as your browser cache if necessary ( [Clearing the DNS Cache on Computers and Servers](http://www.opendns.com/support/article/68)).
