So I use 4g net connection here in the UK and just tried to load what I assume is the site? coedcherry.com? I got a vodaphone (uk mobile phone co whose network I'm apparently connected via) nag page asking me to confirm me age, we protect young mobile users blah blah blah. Which... I have never seen before in the six months I've been using this connection. Any other porn site even massive ones like xvideos works fine, but coedcherry does not?

Which is very odd. I'm really rather perplexed as to why your site would be blocked but the biggest porn site on the net is not if the purpose here is to block childrens access to porn.



I used to hit this all the time when I lived in the UK. One of the first things you have to do when you get a SIM card there is ask the provider to turn off their "block randomly selected websites" function. At one point mine was blocking Wikipedia.


Try archive.org. Many UK mobile providers block it outright, without even an age bypass, because it can be used as a proxy to arbitrary sites.


Figured it out, browser defaulted to http not https. Looks like the filters don't work on https.


Their blocker is weird.

I discovered it existed trying to check when the local gay bar called last orders.


I had this when trying to look up nmap docs on insecure.org.
