Haha so Im not the only one! I have noticed problems signing into hotmail as well. But I have set my proxy servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 which does end up by passing any of these issues but it seems that its slow getting to the sites never the less! Youtube works amazingly when you set your DNS! The server belongs to google. heres the link! try it out maybe it will be of help. Its like using those sites to get around firewalls but you set it up off the bat! no need to look at annoying ads either!
