Greetings,

Last week I started getting blocked from sites I normally access. Several are related to hunting. This is the message that comes up:

logo This site is blocked due to content filtering.

Site blocked. buckmasters.com is not allowed on this network as it may go against Christian values.

This site was blocked due to the following categories: Weapons

It says it is from Cisco Umbrella, which I don't know anything about. How can I remove it?

Thank you, Andrew Howell

Hi Andrew

This does not sound like an issue with Firefox for iOS but is something that your internet service provider should be able to help you with.

Hi Andrew, Cisco Umbrella is the latest brand for the OpenDNS service. That is available for optional home use, and may be used on company networks and perhaps at public libraries.

"Weapons" is one of their standard categories, but I don't think the "may go against Christian values" is a standard description. Someone has customized it.

Are you using a network you control? If so, perhaps this is configured in your router, or through your ISP, or is installed in Windows.

Assuming it won't get you in trouble with your boss (or your wife), you also could test DNS over HTTPS: Configure DNS over HTTPS protection levels in Firefox.
