Ain't gonna lie or dance around the issue with euphemisms.
For my current work from home situation, I connect to the net via a VPN provided by The Day Job™. I'm trying to understand VPN and if it might be interfering with trying to load adult/porn sites or if it's the current configuration of my MacBook, in general.
Pertinent information:
For my current work from home situation, I connect to the net via a VPN provided by The Day Job™. I'm trying to understand VPN and if it might be interfering with trying to load adult/porn sites or if it's the current configuration of my MacBook, in general.
Pertinent information:
- MacBook is currently running Catalina 10.15.6 with Firefox 80.0. I've also tried Safari 13.1.2 and have the same issue.
- Yes, I've cleared the cache and cookies for the sites.
- Yes, I've turned it off and turned it back on again.
- It's a recent issue, popping up within the last two weeks or so.
- Adult pages will open with "no image available" in image boxes or broken image file icons. Sometimes, they won't even do that much and only load a string of text on the left side of the browser window.
- I've tried looking this up in various sources online and none of the solutions have helped. Firefox apparently has built-in blocking features that are automatically enabled but allows users to disable them. Once you know what to look for.
- I use a separate HP Windows laptop for The Day Job™ and power it down faithfully every day after use.
- Could the VPN I use with the Windows laptop be blocking the adult sites I visit? I know it sounds like a silly question since the laptop is powered down and not in use and it's a wireless connection all around and we get a WARNING BILL ROBINSON DANGER! warning screen whenever we try to access/accidentally access forbidden content, but...?
