Sponsored and ad link blocking

My xfinity internet blocks all sponsored/ad/affiliate links and I always get "this site can't be reached .... might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently "

Hi there, yes I need these unblocked. I have a hard time often accessing websites I need to access for work and end up having to use my phone as ahotspot vs. using my xfinity internet. It's really inconvenient.

How can this be unblocked?

@user_rn804e I completely understand where you're coming from with this being an inconvenience. Our Customer Security Assurance experts due have a website you can visit to report a blocked website, I found this great article on our website that has some great information: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/report-blocked-website

 

From experience, I have found at times you may need to enter the website via an incognito window: https://spa.xfinity.com/advanced-security?faq=advanced-security. Once you're on the website, select the Advanced Security option, then follow the prompts. 

 

Please let me know if that was helpful, or if you have any further questions I can assist with.
