[NSFW] PornHub IWF

[link to this post]

Anyone else getting the 'error - connection reset' message, generated by Squid cache via the IWF (Internet Watch Foundation) proxy when trying to access PornHub?

Indeed, rather annoying. Having to use a VPN for just now, Plusnet "Protect" seems to be off.

Annoying, but completely pointless. Either VPN or (better and lightweight) a DNS proxy, like the one I put together for Netflix, but which works equally as well for getting around these arbitrary blocks:

Surely this can't be an intentional blanket ban. Aren't they already complying with rules with Plusnet Protect? If it was a specified ban, why are other websites not blocked?

I wonder if any of you are going through BT Retail routing on your current PPP session. That was the cause of some being blocked from Pirate Bay a year or so ago.

Can confirm this is the case. Doubt it'll get fixed any time soon due to lack of complaints

I had the same problem, What i found is that even though the filter was turned off there were certain categories set to be blocked, once i turned them off there were no longer any blocks
