ICAP protocol error - Vodafone broadband

[JayJay007]

Didn't get any response over networking section, will try my luck here.

Only joined Vodafone broadband yesterday and immediatelly started getting constant error whenever I am trying to view images on imgur.com. I turned my content restrictions off, I even contacted support who reapplied it, however I still keep getting this, I can by pass it by keep hitting refresh and eventually it goes to site, but that is very annoying to say the least. This is something to do with Vodafones ICAP (look at the bottom - iwffilter.broadband.vodafone.co.uk (squid) ) not allowing a very popular image sharing site to display. Can anyone please advise what to do? I am using Chrome.

Also I had to add imgur to exception in Chrome as the vodafone was not approving of its certificate (this was not the case on Monday when I was still using BT)

Here is what I get:

ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved

---

The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL:http://imgur.com/azhlWrS

ICAP protocol error.

The system returned: [No Error]

This means that some aspect of the ICAP communication failed.

Some possible problems are:

• The ICAP server is not reachable.

• An Illegal response was received from the ICAP server.

Hello @JayJay007

This sounds very odd. 

I'm afraid the only way to have this looked into is to respeak with the Technical Team by calling 08080 034 515 and we will look into your settings to diagnose the issue.

Sorry to bump an oldie but I'm now getting this for digitalspy.co.uk

Did you resolve or move provider 😂

Hey @jamsterdm, digitalspy should be ok, so i'm surprised you're having an issue with that site.

What's actually happening, is it just the pictures that aren't loading, or are there issues with the full page.

Hey all, you'll need to change the DNS settings to manual in the router settings.

To access them put 192.168.1.1 into your browser, then go into expert mode, internet tab, then DNS settings. Change it to manual, then use soemthing like OpenDNS for example.

Which is 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.

Let us know if this helps.

Hi Cromer

Cheers Mr. Moderator, changing the DNS servers worked for me too!

Thank you very much!
