But theoretically if I had TikTok, Facebook or insta, I would still be able to use it on the wifi.
That is all. Just thought it was interesting

As an IT guy, I would never.
Anyways here’s some proxies to try if you feel it’s worth the effort:
If your IT team routinely monitors network traffic and stumbles across these they’ll just block them too and probably pull you aside for a fun conversation, so just a heads up.
I honestly have no idea why anyone cares. We are a bakery and I don’t even know who does our IT. I would guess it’s someone that only shows up as needed
Most likely they use an off the shelf commercial solution with certain categories and it got flagged in one of those categories that IT had selected for. If I had to guess either “social media”, “extremism”, “political content” or something like that. As to why now, either they switched providers or the providers updated the lists and this site was included in it.
I suppose it’s also possible they’re monitory network usage and saw someone using a bunch of bandwidth + time browsing this site, deemed it non-essential for work purposes and blocked it on resource usage or preventing “time wasting by employees” reasons.
That sounds like the people I work for haha
