Hi,
If your iCloud services like Find My Friends or Find My iPhone have stopped working on your devices recently while connected to your wifi network, and you get errors about not being connected to the Internet, and you use OpenDNS domain filtering services on your network, you might want to add icloud.com to your OpenDNS whitelist. It appears that they just added icloud.com to various blocking filters like chat, file storage, etc.
You'll know if OpenDNS is blocking your access if you use your desktop browser to go to iCloud.com and you get the OpenDNS block page. That's how I finally figured out what the problem was 😡. I was going to try to log into iCloud from my browser to make sure my account was not hacked.
I wonder how many support calls Apple is getting because of this...
Anyway, I hope this helps others who might find themselves with icloud services not working suddenly on their devices.
Mike
