Problems with public wifi preventing access to Mumsnet

[RebeccaMumsnet]

Hi all,

We have recently had an email regarding a public library blocking access to Mumsnet as it contains 'pornography content'.

We do know we are a site for adults and can be rather sweary and we know that some filters can be rather sensitive to this.

We have heard of other issues involving Mumsnet being blocked from sports centres and college sites.

So, we were wondering if anyone else had this problem?

Have you ever had difficulty accessing Mumsnet from a public place via their wifi and if so, were you given a reason?

Thank you in advance blames bumsex friday

Rusty that's good :) I'm surprised it's not blocked, I assume it would count as a social networking site and be blocked. That said I have never tried as there just isn't the time and the ICT policy says no to visiting such sites.

Don't judge me... That's where the post office is!

Is this because of ISP filtering then?

Thanks everyone for the input so far. It's useful for us to know whether the whole site is blocked or just certain pages (and if so which pages) if you don't mind including that info.

At the hospital it was all of it.

Shhh, I'm in a library right now. No filters here.
