Haha... My work firewall blocks the main URL for the site... But not anything else. Just click on my history for "Active Topics" and I'm in!

McAfee web filtering at my place of employment (Fortune 500 company) now blocks this place. It also blocks the <Edited -40xb> domain as well under the same qualification, weapons.

Web filters have broad categories like Nudity, Violence, Job Search, Hate Speech, Weapons, etc., so it's unlikely that this site is specifically blocked by the hospital. The liberal-leaning admin who set up the filter probably checked the box for weapons and felt like he'd done his good deed for the day preventing electronic gun violence.

A lot of that sort of stuff gets blocked by category and the category often gets populated by lists put together by the company that manufacturer and/or a third-party that compiles these lists.
Probably listed as "adult" or "weapons" and enabled by an administrator instructed to create a "safe" browsing environment. I doubt ARFCOM is the only "gun" site blocked. |

New firewall at my place of employment was initially set up to block firearms/weapons related websites. Once one of the bosses couldn't get to Gunbroker or something, that was rectified quickly.

I can understand the porn sites being blocked but Ar15.com?..... And I bet, you asked for the person in charge of blocking the sites, and voiced your complaint to them ?? Right ?? Nope...it's must safer and easier to come on here and whine about. Tell us why you didn't confront them about the blocked site ?? _ |

Once a website gets on the one of the web filter appliance black lists it tends to get included via check box policy for ever after.
I would expect this problem to get worse for arfcom over the next few years

Yes, ARFCOM is considered a weapons site and therefore "bad." Youtube which shows you how to make guns, crossbows, bombs, swords, etc. is "okay."

Anything hospital-related I've been to subscribe to the same web filtering black/white lists I think.
Also, a "legal made us do this" post: (left cold) https://www.hipaajournal.com/internet-access-control-for-hospitals/ Church, all of the sites work there. |
