I am here on vacation in Disney World, using wifi in the hotel and I’m being blocked.
Disney appears to be using an old (I mean old) web filter called the 8e6 R3000 from 8e6 Technologies, now Trustwave. Interestingly, when I check this site’s category using Trustwave’s site here and it is not registered. The site is correctly categorized as “IT” in the other filtering engines.
So, it would seem that Disney World is keying off some element of content on the site, rather than on the Skye’s categorization.
