My Safeguarding is still not working this was logged months ago and there is still not answers.
Plusnet Online chat was useless and just told me to look at alternative software.
Come on Plusnet give us some answers when you will sort this problem and start protecting our families?

I've just dropped you a ticket via your account HERE which might offer a possible solution opposed to purchasing a 3rd party alternative.
Can you advise if you're seeing the same issue as above. I'm assuming you have tried changing safeguard to 'on' and rebooting?
If this doesn't help, can you confirm if your current DNS settings match those in the guide:https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/about-dns-server-and-website-settings/
For safeguard the should be:
Primary 213.120.234.42
Secondary 213.120.234.42

Hi Matt
That's brilliant, thank you. Hopefully that's sort it out and it'll stop me from pulling any more of my hair out!
Thanks again
Patrick

Is there anything sharable here please which might build common knowledge?

Not really, @Optimatts has a hunch, I disagree with it. We're going to do both and see what works.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! @dvorak I just don't think the DNS will auto change and instead think it's to do with a problem that we've recently closed as resolved.

Nice to see its not just me struggling, since feb 8th ive had this logged as an issure on twitter (the only way i found to communicate with you) still unresloved, even after being sent a different router.

Hi @matias100
Sorry to see the new router didn't help. I can see @Optimatts (Matt from over Twitter) has added your account to the ongoing incident IMT-2205 for further investigation.
Sorry again for the inconvenience.

Hi Matt
Just to let you know that the new router turned up the other day.
When I swapped the old and new routers over, SG was already switched on (but not working). I let the new router "bed in" for a few hours before testing to see if SG was working. When I did eventually test SG, it didn't work.
So I left it for another couple of hours before testing it again - it still didn't work.
I then disconnected & reconnected the router by logging out & logging back in again to my account in the router's GUI, left it for a couple of hours, SG still didn't work.
So before I went to bed I turned SG off, then turned the new router off and back on again and left it overnight with SG switched off. When I got up the next morning I turned SG back on, turned the router off and on, left it for a few hours but SG still isn't working.
So I'm afraid that the new router hasn't rectified the situation at all.
BTW, I tried to put all this in a reply to Question #191256008 that you raised for me but there's no option to reply when I go to the web page.
I can't emphasize enough how crucial it is that I get SG working again so please do whatever you can to expedite this issue.
Many thanks in anticipation
Patrick

For safeguard they should be:
Primary 213.120.234.42
Secondary 213.120.234.42
Just to be clear about the detail, with SG switched on in your account settings, does the router report these as the WAN DNS addresses?
If "No" then the DHCP has not giving out the right DNS addresses for your account, without which, any SG settings you configure are never going to work.
If "Yes" then the problem is elsewhere.

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
I've checked the DNS on my router's GUI and they're set to:
- Primary DNS: 212.159.6.9
- Secondary DNS: 212.159.6.10
From this I can see that they've not been synced properly when I turned SG on. I do know that this is at the heart of the problem but without anyway of manually changing the DNS on the Plusnet Hub One router then I don't know what the answer is.
At this stage I just wanted to report back on here to Matt that the new router that he'd organised for me hadn't made any difference and I'm still having issues.
