Re: Stop censoring me

Quote from: purleigh
What 'kged' is asking for, is to NOT be routed via the Plusnet/IWF proxy as that is interfering with the wanted website.
This unwanted routing via the proxy is happening because a different website containing possibly inappropriate material happens to be located on the same webhost, and is not related to the web pages that 'kged' is trying to access.

Yeah, this could unfortunately be it, that the same host has something which is blocked and we are picking up the address and checking it, but not actually blocking the request.  😕
Need the url to check though

Re: Stop censoring me

That is what the following implies -
[quote=Plusnet IWF FAQ]If the IP address matches that of a server that's used to host one of the websites on the IWF list then your request is diverted to a proxy server.
The proxy server will check if the site address you're trying to visit is on the IWF list. If it is, you'll be re-directed to this page to let you know what's happened. If not then the webpage you've requested will load as normal.

Re: Stop censoring me

AAISP are one of the very few ISPs that haven't voluntarily committed to block access to child sexual abuse web pages thereby protecting the consumers of their services from being inadvertently exposed to such content. 
I would warn you however that AAISP are a very expensive ISP, particularly if you are on a Market 1 exchange and use the internet during the day. I know I am currently with them and am about to migrate to Plusnet.
I suggest that you migrate to them if you are so concerned about any form of censorship.
