problem... access denied by cisco.

Make sure you have https in front of the address, not just http

i’ll consider that later.

for the time being I have an Apple phone and an iPad.

i had an iPod... but that got stolen.

I’m impressed 48... an actual contribution to the site!!

thank you founder. I’ll give that a try.

founder. All it does is delete the tuscl and send me to a home in provement website. aaarrrgggg!

at least my phone still understands what I want.

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

that sucks.

Try EMPTYING your browser cache.

Open a new browser window and go to the "Tools" menu
Select "Internet Options"
In the "General" tab, and under "Temporary Internet Files," click the "Delete Files" option
Click "OK" to delete the files
Click "OK" to close the Internet Options dialog box

Download Firefox and try browsing tuscl incognito

this is all way beyond my skill level..

I just simply want to get rid of Cisco.

OK I was lucky.

Fire fox is now downloading on my iPad.

Firefox is working.

Try clearing your cookies and web history. That will usually help most things like this.

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?

whatever comes with the Apple phone.

I think it might be Google or something.

Yeah... I was at a Starbucks Wi-Fi when I first encountered the problem.

^^ Google Cheome

^ Chrome

Starbucks is installing porn filters on their WiFi networks year.

*this year.*

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.
