How do i unblock self blocked websites

I blocked 2 websites which had began accessing the companies mexican version with (.mex) in the address. I believed that if I blocked the .mex addresses, I would be able to access the U.S. version as I regularly do and the normal websites would not be hijacked again. However, it blocked all access to both websites. How do I unblock the english version and block the mexican websites? It just started doing this at the beginning of the year.

Hi FredMcD
The websites I tried to block were homedepot.mx.com and lowes.mx.com. I am in the US so I have no idea why the .mx started coming up in the address. After this happened continually, I decided the only way to remedy it was to block both websites with .mx in the address using Tools. I had to do this last year for another website that suddenly began accessing the website in Australia and after blocking it I was able to get to the regular website. I use these websites often to order items for renovations. This is driving me crazy. Please help.

    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:

  • How do you unblock a blocked plug-ins safari? when i go to the updated version to install it, it still tells me "blocked plug-in".

    how do you unblock a blocked plug-ins safari? when i go to the updated version to install it, it still tells me "blocked plug-in".

    I'll assume you mean Flash. If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
    1. If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    2. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    3. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    4. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    5. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    6. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    7. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • How do I go about blocking websites using Sudo in Terminal?

    Nobody in the Kenwood Towne Center locations seems to know how or they are to scared. I came here so that if anything went wrong they would be the ones responsible & it under warranty not me.

    I answered your original question, however since adult content websites number in the hundreds of thousands, new ones created everyday, it would be unrealistic to use the hosts file for this.
    My list is only 16,000 and generated by thousands of IT workers, the amount of adult content online is well in excess of being managed except by a population of say New York City working on it 24/7 to get it all catagorized.
    If you subscribe to OpenDNS, they do have a decent adult content filtering system, but it's not perfect at all as I tried it, it does a good job of blocking a lot of accidential visits to major known sites, but not if one is smart, learns the bypass trick from a friend or/and their intent is to find that material as it's everywhere.
    OpenDNS may slow down your downloads of Apple/Akamai based content which uses the closet ISP server to download to you.
    You need to check your location that OpenDNS has a server near your location or experience slow or problematic downloads.
    You can search Wikipedia for OpenDNS, their server locations are there, if your ISP server is very near the same city, then you should't experience a delay in downloading from Apple/Akamai servers.
    If I'm talking too geek speak, then just copy my post for later and likely it will make sense if you run into a problem.

  • How do I unblock a trusted website

    I cannot access FileHippo through firefox only, can somebody tell me how to unblock it?

    You can try basic steps like these in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • I blocked video in website, how do I unblock?

    I mistakenly blocked a video on http://www.filmtotaal.nl/filmsoptv.php (I thought I was blocking an ad); now I can't play any video from that site. How do I unblock?

    1. Click on that message and follow the onscreen directions.
    2. An automatic update to Mac OS X's built-in defenses disabled the Flash plugin because it contains a security flaw.
    3. See #1.

  • How can I unblock a website blocked by Firefox?

    When I try to click on a link to www.bookbub.com/ in Google Reader and feedly, I get the following message:
    "Firefox prevented this site from opening 1 popup window", with an option box to either:
    option 1 - "Block popups from google.com" (or feedly.com) - I want the opposite of this!
    option 2 - "Edit popup blocker options"
    option 3 - "Show www.bookbub.com/deals"
    If I click on option 3 ("Show www.bookbub.com/deals"), this website is still being blocked.
    If I choose option 2 (allow popups from google and feedly), this website is still being blocked.
    So, in Firefox Options settings, the popup blocker box is now unticked - popups are unblocked - but this website is still being blocked.
    This is the only site which is blocked. All links to other websites open correctly from Google Reader and/or Google Search. To bypass this unwanted block and access the website, I have to type the url in the address bar.
    I would much prefer to simply open it as I do with all other websites from Google reader or feedly, with a simple click on a link.
    Suggestions welcome, thank you.
    Edited to add:
    Same problem when clicking on a link to this website from Google Search (website blocked by Firefox), yet no such problem when clicking the link within *this* post... ?!
    No problem whatsoever opening the website from any link in Chrome.

    After several checks, the website appears to be blocked by Adblock Plus and/or Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon.
    The message was clearly marked "*Firefox* prevented this popup" and I never even thought of looking elsewhere.
    I will trawl through the filters to find the blocking rule.
    Thanks a lot for the reply.

  • Help me please. How do I unblock from utube. I accidently blocked them now I cant watch any videos.

    I accidently put a block on utube. now I cant watch any videos. please help me !!!!! How do I unblock it?????

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
