Can only access google and a few other sites intermittenly
Hello
I have 3 computers 2 with windows 7, one with windows 10 all connected to the same router. One windows 7 is connected by ethernet, the other 2 wirelessly.
At the same time, all computers show the same symptoms of not being able to connect to any sites but google, youtube, wiki and a few others. I have seen many others having the same problems and a dns flush being suggested. I can understand doing this for one computer but not when all 3 behave in the same way. I have found that if I install a proxy server (hotspot shield) I can access everything as normal. The only problem with this is I get security alerts when logging into my banking sites/hotmail because I am supposedly not on my usual isp. I've tried resetting the router but have no idea what else to try. The problem is very intermittent, sometimes lasting minutes, sometimes hours. Can it be anything other than my ISP causing the problem?
Thanks
