| Oh, that's funny. The only ISP that services my current domicile blocks sites all the time in the name of "safety," including several I need to access for my job. I have to use a VPN just to get things done. There's no appeal process or channel, either. Thankfully, I'm a month out from moving somewhere that has actual choice in providers, though I'll probably still use the VPN anyway. |

I had an ISP years ago that blocked spam, malware, and phishing sites from Google's safe browsing list. Could just disable that feature in the account portal. | |

| Verizon does block catbox. |
| |
| ▲ | petcat 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | That's just because it's a frequent malware host. You can disable that in your settings or use a different DNS server. | | |
| ▲ | trollbridge 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | It still counts as a block. | | |
| ▲ | petcat 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | A trivial block that is opt-in... Go to your Verizon account -> Safe Browsing -> Uncheck all the content filters you don't want. |
