I can ping aol.com and yahoo.com but no website will load.

If that's your device, you have more issues than just an open proxy:

  • Winbox is exposed
  • Webfig is exposed
  • SSH is exposed
  • The API service is exposed

If one doesn’t know the password is it an issue? I’ll look at those but mainly I cannot reach those websites (customer uses them for mail). Thanks.

You have become a victim from having a bad network admin. Maybe that is you?

Those people will not tolerate any “I will look into that later”…

Your customer?
Getting money for something like that should come with jail time.

Thank you, I tried both sites and the tech support there generally was for consumers who could not access their yahoo or aol email account.

It is quite standard today that companies have support only “for their own customers”, not for other people that do not have an account and just have a problem with them.

Anyway, I assume that all the way with “The ip is still being blocked by yahoo.com, aol.com, etc” you actually mean that you cannot send mail to those domains, not that you cannot access their site.

You will just have to live with that. Transferring e-mail is not for the beginning sysadmin. It will take you a lot of effort to cleanup the mess you (or other people who managed your router) have caused in the past.

Better tell your users that e-mail is being replaced by other communication methods and you cannot support it.

Actually these sites do not load from a browser and the message is

“This site can’t be reached www.yahoo.com took too long to respond.
Try:

Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
Running Windows Network Diagnostics
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

Yet, I can ping yahoo.com.

Please contact your network administrator.

That’s me! :slight_smile:
