Why can I only access gun store websites on my college WiFi?
Asked by

I'm facing a bizarre issue where gun store websites won't load properly on my phone, whether I'm using mobile data or other WiFi networks. The only place I can access these sites is on my college campus's WiFi. Interestingly, sites that sell guns but aren't exclusively gun stores (like Cabela's or a sportsman's warehouse) work just fine. I'm wondering if this could be due to some sort of blocking or filtering, and I'd appreciate any insights into why this is happening.

Have you checked what your DNS settings are? Sometimes ISPs have content filters in place, or your phone's security settings might be blocking certain sites. You might want to try changing your DNS to see if that helps.

QuestioningQuokka88: I’m not really sure what DNS means. Is that just the website I use like Google? I’ve tried switching to Bing and Yahoo, but it didn’t work.
