Blocked from a site!?

I seem to have been permanently blocked from one certain web-site, by the person who's web-site it is. Is there anyway I can get around this?
Thanks for your help

Hello Alexandria,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can use a proxy to get around the site blocking, but rather that doing that, try to reason with the site developer. If that fails, use a free proxy (search Google for lists of free proxies - there are just too many sites to list).
When you've found a proxy that's close to your location (which is important since the speed of your connection depends on how close the proxy is to your location), enter it in System Preferences > Network > Proxies. Note that proxies that are free can monitor anything sent over it, including personal data which is why I highly recommend you use it as a last resort.
Hope this helps,
-Ryan

  • Blocked from specific sites

    very weird. While connected to a site I frequent (moderate) I clicked submit (for a message/post) and received and coannot connect to server error in safari. Every other site associated with this URL is also inaccessible. BUT - ONLY these 4 sites are not accessible.
    Thinking it might be related to Safari, I tried Opera, Mozilla and Explorer. Same issue in all browsers. I can access every site normally but not the 4 particular sites.
    My ISP (WildBlue) says it is NOT them. All network preferences have been checked and confirmed as appropriate (and internet access IS working except for the formentioned URL's) The site owner says he is NOT blocking me. The sites ISP insists that the problem is not them or a DNS server issue. They all say that my Mac is the problem. (I access these sites 50 times per day for past several years from my macs w/o any problem unitl I clicked submit on a post)
    What else could be wrong. This is totally weird and driving me nuts

    I have a similar problem.
    A site I frequent (because I own it) is blocked from my mac. Also, any other site on my host's server is blocked as well.
    These sites are blocked in Safari, Firefox and Explorer.
    I am connected to the internet through a Netgear hub that two computers share. If I go and turn on the Windows machine downstairs, all the sites are accessible.
    This makes me quite sure that it is my Mac that is doing the blocking.
    I never set up any kind of blocking. One day I could get to my website, and the next day I couldn't. I upgraded from OS 10.2.8 to Tiger, and the problem carried over through the upgrade.
    I've been searching everywhere for a solution, but I'm totally baffled.

  • WRT54G ver 5.0 Blocked from secured sites

    We have the WRT54G ver 5.0.  As of Tuesday night we have been blocked from all secure web pages.  Has anyone heard of a fix for this?  I updated to the internet explore 7 on 1/2/07.  The problem seems very new. 

    Hi…
    First thing make sure u have the latest firmware on your router. Change the MTU of the router to 1300. And also forward the ports 443 to  447 for your router.

  • Error while creating sites on entire site collection - the file you are attempting to save or retrieved has been blocked from this web site by server administrator

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a new sub site. Everytime I try to create the site I get this error:
    the file you are attempting to save or retrieved has been blocked from this web site by server administrator
    This applies to almost all site templates except the "blank site" template. I am logged in as System Administrator.

    Issue resolved!
    Don't know how but somehow, xml was added to the Blocked file types. Removing the entry did the trick.

  • Everytime I use IE, first I have to click on the IE bar to allow blocked contect to display. What is the content that is being blocked from IE? viewers may not know what the problem is and see my site totally out of format.

    This is iweb development where after publishing, things look different in IE than other browsers. U r correct that this is due to IE software but is iWeb related. After all, one uses iweb not to just publish in Safari but for all browsers.
    Which means that you are only considering half of the problem, but that's your choice.

    I am a cityville game player on facebook and for some reason today I am unable to send out blasted on the game when if fact this was never a problem. Finally I went to internet explorer and the same problem happen, but internet explorer let me know that the content was blocked.

I went into to tools and removed every block and it still want work right. Therefore, how to remove block from trusted web site. I did the obvious by pasting the web address in the allow content area under tools options. What are the other ways

    Hello,
    Thank you for your post.
    I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
    and Visual Studio Editor.
    Because your issue is about ASP.NET website programming, I suggest that you can consult your issue on ASP.NET forum:

    With the site on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button]) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
    First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
    Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
    This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Images+or+animations+do+not+show
    Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.

  • Abobe reader blocked from site

    Ok,
    Adobe reader blocked from site -- message that appears after clicking on a pdf on the following sites. Does not occur on all sites but increasingly so.
    Tested on these sites:

    Symptoms
    1. Go to site
    2. Click on PDF found on a web page on the site
    3. Get 'black screen'
    4. Asked to trust or cancel. Also instructions to go to preferences and set trust or not for site
    5. Select 'trust'
    6. Go back to URL of PDF and all that appears is a solid black screen with no message.
    Running Mac OS 7.5.1
    Replicated problem on both Chrome (latest version) and Safari 6.1.
    Have tried 'allow', 'always allow' under Safari's security preferences for 11.0.4 in Safari's preferences menu. Doesn't help.
    Have latest version of Reader, 11.0.4 or 11.4 installed (installed this 3 days ago). BTW, Adobe Reader v 7 was working fine!
    A resolution to this would be great because I need certain PDFs for work or to train Boy Scouts in their merit badge class.

  • Whenever I click a link in one web site, Firefox blocks the clicked site from opening.

    In the new tab, I get a message from Firefox, much like the Pop-up blocker that says "Firefox has prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." I have to click "Allow" to get the site to load. This has just started happening in the past couple of weeks, and to my knowledge, I have not changed any of my Firefox settings.
    This always happens if I click a link in Gmail, even when I know I am going to a trusted site. It also happens if I click a link from one site to another, including trusted banking sites, Amazon.com, and the like.

  • This Connection is Untrusted...I accidently put in the wrong login info and a specific site and now I am blocked from it, how do I unblock this.

    After trying to login to a specific website three times, Firefox has now blocked me from this site. "This Connection is Untrusted" I have used this site for many years and need to be able to access it.

    Rename or delete the file cert_override.txt (cert_override.txt.old) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] to remove all permanent exceptions that you have saved.

  • How can I set Firefox 8.0 to accept 3rd party cookies ONLY from selected sites but NOT from any other sites?

    I do not like to accumulate 3rd party cookies and would simply not check the Accept 3rd Party Cookies box in Preferences. BUT in order to use my bank's web page I have to accept 3rd party cookies from a separate site that manages some of their transactions (like paying bills). This means I have to accept 3rd party cookies and then delete them by hand OR I have to check the accept box each time I use the bank's website and then uncheck it when I am done.

    Thanks, but that is not what I was trying to do. I do not want to block cookies from a single site. I do not want to block all 3rd party cookies.
    What I want to do is ACCEPT 3rd party cookies only from ONE site but NOT from any other site.

  • How to configure Mail to send from off-site

    I am trying to configure Mail on a laptop that will send and receive email both went it is connected to the servers ISP (on site) and when the laptop is connected to a non-site ISP. In other words when I am in the office I am connected to the ISP that is hosting my mail server. When I am out of the office and using an ISP that is not hosting the mail server. I have configured Mail such that I can send and receive email when I am onsite. When I am offsite I can receive email but not send it. In order to fix the problem I have tried configuring the SMTP to require password authentication using a couple of different server ports (i.e. 25, 110 & 587) but have been unable to send from off site. At this point I am at a loss as what to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    If the off-site ISP doesn’t let you send no matter what port you use, there is little, if anything, you can do about it. Many ISPs, however, only block port 25 for all traffic outside their own network. Something that usually works in those cases is changing the outgoing server port to 587 instead of 25 in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but the outgoing server in question must listen to that port for this change to work.
    If the off-site ISP allows sending on port 587, but the outgoing server you want to use doesn’t listen to that port, you may solve the problem by using an independent authenticated SMTP server that allows sending from any mail account no matter where you are.
    A Gmail account, for example, would allow you to do this. Instructions for setting up a Gmail account are provided here:
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275
    After setting up the Gmail account in Mail and checking that it works, you can use Gmail's SMTP server to send from your other mail accounts as well:
    1. Log into your Gmail account on the web.
    2. Go to Settings > Accounts.
    3. Enable the addresses you want to be able to send from, and let Gmail validate them by verifying that you do indeed own them.
    4. For each mail account you want to send from using Gmail’s SMTP server, in Mail go to Preferences > Accounts, and choose Gmail’s SMTP server from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) popup menu.

  • OfficeJet J4550 All-In-One not scanning or copying; only prints from certain sites

    I have a HP Pavillion Slimline 400 and my will not scan or copy, and only prints from certain sites.  I have uninstalled and installed the software driver numerous times and still get a "scanner not working" message.  I have also unplugged and turned off and replugged in the USB and the power cords several times.  Currently, I have uninstalled the printer software, so I have no recognizable printer on my PC.  Help!!

    Hello bran1288,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with scanning and printing from a select few sites.
    I have a few steps that we can try to troubleshoot this issue.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    As for printing from web pages, please make sure that you have your firewall or anti virus settings turned down as well as the Pop-up blocker disabled.  If this does not resolve the issue, maybe try another web browser such as Mozilla fire fox or Google Chrome.
    As for the scanning issue,  so I can better assist you, please respond with which Operating System you are running:
    Which Windows Operating System am I running?
    Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    Please write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.

  • I am being blocked from my "favorites"on my iPad 2 with the following....... You are not authorized to open this file. What do I need to do

    I'm being blocked from my favorites on my iPad 2 with the following........... You are not authorized to open this file. What do I do?

    I'm not sure whether you have tried the "usual" things:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Command+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    * Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * classic Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?
