And there's still devs that want the in-office life still..
We've been working home for 2 years. They want us to run all traffic through the VPN that applies the same filtering. Please excuse me if I forget to turn it on.
A number of my personal sites end up blocked by corporate firewalls. It’s slightly infuriating. Even my own company. I got in a literal fight with IT needing to justify the why in why I needed access to my own website. Like I can live without it, but it’s nothing but my blog where I rant about tech. The why should be why is it blocked to begin with. The default state should not be blocked .
>I got in a literal fight with IT needing to justify the why in why I needed access to my own website. Legitimately asking, why do you need access to your private website on corporate resources during work? Access your private stuff on your BYOD.
Although that is not a very strong justification.
It's because there are too many x's in the name
> It shows that this filter is for this specific host name only, not for the entire haxx.se domain.

Praying for all the people who use the shortened form of Richard
The ultimate litmus test for such filtering. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Van_Dyke And a favorite tech blog/news website that is often blocked: https://torrentfreak.com/

I know that Dick is another name for Richard. But Why? They don't seem to even be plays off of the same name, nor do they sound the same at all. It's like if another name for John was Frank. It makes zero sense.
My wife's name is Aleksandra, but the short version of that is Ola. Similarly, Olek is a short for Aleksander. Also no idea why.
Very likely this is due to both being transliterations from Cyrillic.
I'm glad he was able to resolve this. I get the feeling most people wouldn't care, because after all they're not blocking instagram/facebook/tiktok.
Where have you read that? It reads to me that he applied for unblocking, but no result as of yet.

Even more ridiculous: several small sites run by my team, from our own public IP space, have been blocked by the corporate firewall. There has never been anything wrong with them, it's just braindead blocking software purchased by incompetent managers.

Is this filtering an extra feature like parental controls or corporate filtering? Or was this just blanket filtering applied to all Vodafone customers?
In the UK the filtering is on by default. The customer can opt out of the filtering by contacting the ISP and requesting to opt out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_blocking_in_the_United_Kin...
