Enfield -Rifles .com site blocked!

[30Three]

This morning I went to open "Enfield -Rifles.com" to check the forum. I got a page that states
"Site blocked" Weapons content!
This was on Firefox system. It would open on Chrome. But now it doesn't open on either.

Can you guys check to see if it's something with my system; or something more sinsiter?

OK thanks guys. I'll check my system. Currently on my work computer (lunch time) I will check my home computer this evening.

I would say your company IT people have been monitoring your web activity, and have now blocked that website to you.
Most of the firms I've worked at in the past 10 years in the UK have all blocked websites and forums with any 'weapons' content.

I agree. I can't open it from the office, but my iPhone opens it immediately.

It's fine on my home computer but not on the work one. I spoke to our tech guy today; he doesn't know why it's blocked. He is based at another branch and he has access.
But I can't waste his time with it because it's not work related.

Thank you guy's for checking it out for me

I've seen that before in a business environment.

Your company is using an add-on product on their firewall that comes with a huge listing of sites it blocks access to, such as adult and gun sites.

I would say that you would need to get your firm's broadband settings/preferences changed and adjusted to allow "guns and violence" which should solve the problem. I wouldn't be too specific about it being non work related or exactly why you want the settings changed.

The outfit I work for has all firearm related sites blocked as well. Nose to the grindstone, and all.
