I went downstairs and informed the front desk that I would be leaving their establishment because of their blocking.<br /><br /> I received a phone call from their networking vendor, who logged into their router and proxy and turned off filtering on a list of about 25 sites they'd blocked. <br /><br /> But the point is, the hotel and its provider cannot be trusted not to fsck with your data. Always use a VPN.306928http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2021-12-20T18:31:32+00:002021-12-20T18:31:32+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://nu.federati.net/user/2lnxw48a1Main account.
