BLOCKED

[skipper49]

I belong to many gun related forums. I have a job where I’m free to check sites throughout the day.
Came in this morning to find that Cisco Systems has blocked 100% of them. Reason given was that they contained “weapons”.
Is the answer to this to simply buy more data and ignore Cisco?
Getting off wi-fi was the only way I could come here and post this. I’m admittedly pretty ignorant on these matters.
Just buy more data????
Thanks,

Yup. Also, they can track you easily when you’re on their WiFi. Better to just be on network. I was in a Kaiser building the other day on their WiFi cause it’s a hospital and there’s no cell service and they blocked ODT and several other sites. Most unlimited plans are pretty decently priced now days. Who do you have?

It's for your safety.

You don't have to.....they do. LOL!

Make a friend in IT or like you said, get a more expensive data plan.

Pro Tip: Whenever the government or a corporation cites "safety" as a reason for doing something, they are NOT referring to YOUR safety.

Your fists are “weapons” too. So are ink pens, chairs, staples, coffee pots, etc

Liberal morons

You could buy a VPN plan from a provider like https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ and stay on the WiFi.
