Its probably not the right place to put this but im hoping someone could tell me the best course of action to take.
It seems that my ISP has been blocked from accessing EN World D&D / RPG News: The world's premier fan community for Dungeons & Dragons news and more!.
I have confirmed this by asking friend who is with the same ISP to try to get to this site, which fails for him as well. Ive sent a email to the Morrus a few weeks ago, but still access is the same. Not sure why my ISP has been blocked, but i hope to be able to access the site from home soon.
It is very unlikely that someone would block your ISP from providing access to a site. Much more likely is that the ISP has blacklisted the site for some reason (probably erroneous in this case).
Your best bet might be to contact your ISP and ask them why enworld.org is blocked.

This has come up before. We haven't blocked any ISPs, and we've checked with our server host and they haven't, either. There's clearly an issue somewhere betwene your PC and our server (whether that's your ISP, or an intermediate routing location), but I can assure you it's nothing at our end.

I ended up posting the issue on whirlpool.net.au , a australia broadband info/forum site. A number of iinet (isp provider) have the same problem as me, some don't.
The subnet are:
124.169.*.*
124.170.*.*
124.171.*.*
edited -> it could actually be anyone on 124.*.*.* addresses.
Iinet are looking into the issue to see what would cause this, though some posters still think it may be a some sort of filter at this end. *shrug*
My firmware is upto date. My Firewall settings don't have to 2 options you suggested. Its a few years old.

SYN Flooding checking
ICMP Redirection checking
not sure if you will have the same settings. but after i turned them off i haven't had a problem getting on Enworld.
