I couldn't find anywhere to post about this: in just the last couple of months several cafes have their web filter banning Dynasty Reader for sex/porn (it's always the same message). Can anything be done? I use my phone's data in such cases but it's annoying. Writing this Dec. 30 2019 i have noticed it starting in November.
Can't they just ban entry to the NSFW titles and let us enter the rest of the site? Would be a lot more sensible. But, then again, I can't imagine people bothering to manually police Internet access, so it shouldn't be surprising that bots are gonna bot.
Most web filters ban the whole domains, not the content. Half of them also ban Pixiv - which is awful given some artists depend on it - but one worry is there is a marked tendency to equate LGBT and suggestive with being pornography. Sometimes the more inexpensive filters are the ones with a political agenda. It's an issue in schools and libraries but in a cafe, well, all you can do is go, I don't come here as often because I can't surf dynasty scans, I doubt that would sway them. Just wondered how, suddenly, Dynasty Reader got on their radar.
Unlike OP (I remember it like it was yesterday that I was the reply you made reply to that I'm replying to right now, tho I forgot who OP was, and for all I remember (that is, nothing), OP may even been you), I am yet to have such a problem. But yeah, it is more efficient and inexpensive to just block entire sites. What's weird about what you mentioned about political agendas: in a weird twist, despite LGBTQ+ rights still being a contentious issue in most Balkan countries, including my homeland, Montenegro, the cafés here (even one that's just a thinly-vailed extenction of my hometown's largest place of worship, an Orthodox cathedral just across the street from my place of residence) either don't have such filters, or, if they do, they don't consider Dynasty a site that should be blocked. That, or they're so sure that there are no people here that visit the site anyway, so blocking it isn't worth the time and effort (oh, if they knew just how so wrong they are; I know when I mentioned yuri and how I like it and read it on a regular basis, AND since the fact that I'm from the Balkans was obvious in my channel name (despite a change, it's still obvious today) in the comments of a video, a Bosnian said "someone who likes yuri? from the Balkans? preposterous!").
That said, the only suggestion I have for OP is they try some different cafés. It may work. How widespread such cafés whose Wi-Fi bots don't filter Dynasty Reader out depends on the political alignment of the owners, the tech-savvyness of the programmers, the quality of the filter and OP's place of residence.
