My router has one built-in, but I haven't blocked any sites with it, 
certainly not github. Haven't even changed any settings on it lately.

Although I'd have no idea what kind of crazy fucking shit my ISP might be 
pulling (Timer Warner - yea, they're not exactly known for basic 
competence.)

The HTTP request goes out to them and then...the connection just sits there 
indefinitely...doing...nothing. Nothing gets sent back, the connection 
doesn't close.

Everything else seems to work fine...Jusus christ...those stupid goddamn 
motherfuckers turned they're goddam "send him *our* page for every unmatched 
DNS request" bullshit back on, after I've already shut the fucking thing off 
twice in the last few years. Why won't these shitwads just fucking die 
already. Adelphia's leadership gets hauled off to jail, ok, fine, but then 
these Time Warner fuckwads are allowed to live and participate in society. 
Fuck, if I had my way anyone with an IQ below 100 would be 
institutionalized, and all middle and upper managers would be shot in the 
balls, then in the face.

In any case it woudn't surprise me if this asinine bullshit is somehow 
what's causing the problem. Fuck Time Warner, and I hope all their kids get 
hepatitis and die.
