concrete5 site blocked... says it's porn
Permalink
Only on certain networks that I've tried... I see it fine, but my client tries to access the site and gets a message saying the site is blocked because of pornographic content (I can assure you there is none there).
Only a few others have the same issue, most of us see the site just fine. (In fact I have two ISP's and it works on both providers)
Maybe it's blocked for you?http://www.corbinmusic.com
Wondering if anyone else ran into this problem as I've been trying to fix it, and searching for a solution for weeks. Maybe I'm not using the right terminology.
Running concrete5.5.1 on dreamhost.

Works fine for me. Nice site.
This has to be a security software running on the client's computer (and others). Probably something like "Siteadvisor" (http://www.siteadvisor.com/). Although I think that only warns for viruses.
If you can find out what anti-virus/security software has the incorrect labeling for the site you can request a review/appeal. It could also be the client's ISP or computer network blocking the content with a firewall.

Maybe they have heard of Franz's affection for ducks :-)
He says that he can't access the site when he is on a public wi-fi. Like free wi-fi at McDonalds or other hot spots. Like I say, it works fine for me and I have two ISP's in my house and neither are blocking the site. But why would a public wifi spot like McD's block the site? There's nothing on it other than music and pictures? It says it's pornographic material.
The software that McDonald's uses to manage their wireless network has miscategorized your site. That's going to be more difficult to appeal, because I have not a clue who/what they use to filter their network.
It would probably be the same software for most McDonalds (and other free WiFi places), you just have to find out what it is, contact the company and appeal.
Additionally, going to a McDonalds and accessing the site (getting the block message) - there may be some link to click on a for a manual site review.
Finally, the reason for the block could be a number of issues - perhaps you're using a shared webhost that hosts a lot of porn? Especially possible if you're sharing an IP address with others. If they lock-down via IP address of servers, you may need to change webhosts or IPs (if possible).

Thats my bet. Your site is likely on a IP address that was blacklisted for something else entirely a long time ago. Ask your webhost..
That and do a quick source check to make sure there's no nefarious JS on your pages.
