They don't want you visiting sites that maybe harm your health .. it's for your own good!

I only partly jest but when i take my 370z in for service if I'm on the Nissan dealership wifi they blocked this site as well as my cigar home board... because you know it's bad for you and the dealership really cares about you lol

You know it's time to start worrying when you can't tell if someone is making the most over-the-top, absurdly exaggerated joke they can come up with about Thoughtcrime becoming real, or it's literally true.

My Nissan dealership quite literally blocks tobacco, booze and firearms sites on their wifi. Oh and porn of course lol

Probably to prevent employees from having fun at work and the same blocks automatically extend to the guest wi-fi.
Yes that's what i figured, so i went on 5G and watched porn on my laptop in the middle of the showroom, that'll teach them! #freetheporn

Actually did go on 5G but i was bidding on cigars on a private board and the stupid auction was ending while i was waiting for my car lol

Haha, watching porn in public! One of the conditions of probation will probably be no more internet!

USI Access Control Filters​

There are various kinds of DoS attacks happening on the Internet all of the time. Some attacks present a greater risk than others—in particular distributed DoS attacks, also known as DDoS attacks. These kinds of attacks enlist the participation of many computers across the Internet, usually in secret and through the use of computer viruses, worms, botnets, etc.

In order to help reduce the spread of these kinds of malicious infections and their ability to perform actual attacks, US Internet has installed access control filters on its ISP connectivity services: FTTP and USI Wireless networks. Whereas the majority of these access control filters have no impact on normal traffic, some may affect current subscribers in some cases.

Following is a list of restricted ports to which US Internet has applied filters, and an explanation of the risk that the filter mitigates. US Internet reserves the right to make changes to the list below as needed to protect the integrity and quality of service of our networks.

Your new provider may be using different DNS that filters out horrid sites dealing with tobacco or alcohol. I'd add Googles free DNS It is: 8.8.8.8
