on my iPad I attempted to bring up tuscl website and a message appeared saying that it was an ‘unsecure website’ and suspect to fraud... so I clicked on something trying to access the tuscl website and now the friggin thing has blocked me from accessing tuscl on my iPad.
How do I disable this cisco umbrella block ???
(I have posted a picture of the block in my photo album on my profile.)

I agree with cowboy. Apple is not real crypto friendly either. I think this my be because apple was/ not sure if they still are, planning on installing butcoin mining abilities on their phones. They did not want competition, my opinion.
If you know wnyrhing about bitcoin mining this is rediculous. A phone does not have enough processing power to do shit. Unless they plan on using their entire network to mine, including your phone, and keeping it and giving you pennies.

Apple could probably legally do this with some fine print in your contract

Cisco umbrella is their DNS blocking product that use to be called opendns. were you at a hotel or one someone else's wifi when you were getting blocked? it might have added a proxy setting to your browser that's redirecting all your searches to their dns site, and someone has probably deemed tuscl as either porn or something unacceptable.

What browser were you previously using?

Oh yeah - if you were at Starbucks you can forget about connecting to TUSCL on their WiFi, it won't allow you to connect - I hang out @ Starbucks a lot and I had to get the TunnelBear VPN which allows you to bypass the Starbucks (or any WiFi) filters - TunnelBear gives you 500MB free every month but it can go by pretty-quickly if you use it everyday

Some good information here. I travel a lot and have had to bypass networks that want to regulate my behavior.
FYI, the default browser for Apple products is Safari. The suggestion to clear your cache, cookies, and temporary files is best.
I don’t think it is Cisco’s fault. More likely the local network adding cookies and redirecting your searches. Censorship sucks.

Cisco Umbrella is the back end product DNS filtering product that Starbucks must be using. The VPN that Papi uses is a good solution. You might be able to just manually specify a DNS server instead of the DNS server that Starbucks is automatically handing you when you get your DHCP address, Google's DNS server is 8.8.8.8 The problem you'll have there is some firewalls won't let you make your own DNS requests, so you might have to keep toggling that on and off if you are traveling a lot. The good thing is Google's DNS server is very easy to remember. I don't have an apple products to tell you how to go about manually setting a DNS server, but it would be under the settings, network area. On Windows products, you can get an IP address automatically, and manually specify a DNS, so I'd assume apple would also let you do that.
