hi,

i have a Samsung S5 and for the past 2 days it stops browsing most sites using mobile data. if i search anything on google, it loads the what i searched for fine but when i click on a link the page dosent load. Only google loads and sites that i view via a proxy site like pirate bay. its like my phone will only let me browse google and sites it cant see what what m viewing due to proxies. i have tried all browses, android default, chrome, firefox and have the same issue. all works fine on wi-fi. i did mess around with my Samsung account yesterday and then it worked but has done the same again today. please help?

You don't have an exclusive on that.

Something is going on with Google because I am getting the same problems with my Desktop PC.... in fact, it is so bad, I turned OFF Google and made Bing my default Search Engine on my Desktop.

Well, you both have the same problem but it's not Google per se - I've seen none of that.

Suggest clearing cache on all affected browsers.

Is it happening with mobile data on your phone?

If not - check your router, there's a hijack going around for those as well.

Has any one try changing there dns ?

OK so two of the mods testing this have found that if you use Chrome with the new data compression feature turned on, traffic goes through the Google proxy.

No idea how that could relate to other browsers.
