So out of the blue my companys spyware has banned me from going to this site on my work laptop because of " content filtering". So what changed in the last day or two?

Access from my work computers have never been permitted. IT makes sure we don't use work computers for other than work. 😂

I think the "content filtering" is occurring on your work network. It could be as easy as someone added "forum" to the list of content that they are blocking employees from accessing.

Thanks guys for the feedback, i am guessing that 'forum' is throwing it off, if I go to the andy321(old way) it works until i try and login. I guess i need to buy my own pc now, that sucks.

AzRockGeek Did you by chance try a different browser? I had issues off and on at the place I worked previously. It would be blocked on say chrome, but not firefox or edge, cannot remember which though.

It would be blocked on say chrome, but not firefox or edge, cannot remember which though. I tried chrome, IE, and MS start, i tried incognito windows and flushing the DNS, no luck. I talked to the IT guys this morning, they claimed nothing changed on my side, must be the web page. Blocked at home on my own connection as well, other web pages no issue.

Tim can you text me a picture or screen shot of the blocked message? I'll take it to tech support and see if they can come up with something.

AzRockGeek, I hate to post this but it is kind of what I figured Proboards technical was going to say: It's probably an awkward conversation to have but your IT might have to white-list the URL (if that can even be done).

FWIW, AzRockGeek , I've had issues off-and-on here when using my semi-secure computer that runs NortonVPN on it. Did perhaps your IT guys install a VPN when nobody was watching?
