I never installed NxFilter

How do I get around this, it is blocking my favorite website?

[support200]

Can't you just allow the domain to your users? Using multiple policies or whitelist?

[setec astronomy]

How the software is not on my cellphone or laptop? Is it my ISP? I always have a browser with no ad blockers or extensions.

Talk to your network admin then. This is a network level software.

When you get blocked where were you and what was your DNS IP? Some ISP companies are using NxFilter but we don't control it.

What was the blocked reason? If it's miscategorized, we can try to change its category.

I don't like it and would never put this on one of my devices, I was on the site and refreshed the screen and this NxFilter popped up, it sucks, I live in a campground in the last couple of days maybe they put it on their network I will ask the owner tomorrow , I have been going to this site for 30 years, never had a problem, I talk to the webmaster and nothing has changed.

[support200]

Yeah, he will sort it out. It's their policy whatever it is. We don't decide what to block.

[setec astronomy]

You are censorship software, what you do is wrong!

[support200]

Yeah, we developed a software blocking porns and other phishing/malware sites to protect users. Don't try to access one of those or just tell your network admin that the website is blocked falsely.

I don't go to porns or phishing/malware websites, I go to a news aggregator website

Then ask the network admin to bypass the websites. There could be false positives always. And if you let me know the websites, I will try to bypass the domains.

And DNS filter is way better for privacy compared to webfilter based on webproxy. They look into your communication packets even if you use HTTPS. However, DNS filter just blocks domain queries.. It's like it sees where you go and allow/block the road and doesn't look into to the communication itself. If they have filtering, DNS filter would be better.

Look for a VPN sofware to install. You can also see if your workstation can use a https DNS setting or client. Doubt they blocked that. Lastly you could perhaps modify your "hosts" file on your machine for a website or two. All of these things would need admin access to your machine most likely though. There are other ways around this if you dig.

Ummmm... Campgrounds. Interesting people in campgrounds. I decided to purchase an RV and move to Austin several years ago so I didn't have to sell a house and move. I'd just move the RV. RV campground Inernet is often quite bad. If you can afford it and don't have trees blocking your northern exposure look into Starlink. They have mini dishes now. Great for an RV if the miscreants from the RV park don't steal it.

You can also run a traceroute on your network and see where the IP space goes from private ip space (192.168.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x, 10.x.x.x) to public IP space. This will likely be a cable modem (unless they use Starlink in a rural area or something). The IT staff associated with RV parks usually aren't the smartest folks. For instance they probably didn't turn off the wireless on the cable modem and they very likely left it at the default credentials. The RV park "staff" may be asshats and punishing them via limiting their Internet speed to dialup could be quite fun. Cough..... Or, maybe you "somehow" map to their internal network and start 1,000 copies of "You've been hacked and we've stolen all of your customers money" printing while you drive down to their office to demand why the bank is telling you that your account is empty. Oh my, the terrified faces!!

Mwahhhh Hahhh hahh hah....!!

But i'd try VPN software first.
