Hello! There is a way to remove a website from the Never Allow section. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content and Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions > Web Content. You will see the sites that you have blocked on the bottom of the page. Put your finger on the website you want to remove from the list, and swipe to the left, until you see a Delete button on the right of the website. Tap on Delete, and done! Have a great day!

WiFi, either in airports, restaurants, coffee shops, schools, universities or even at home, would be coded to block certain websites. Unfortunately, in many cases, the block can only be removed by the administrator, but in other cases, there are some ways to bypass the block.

Know that, in airports, restaurants, coffee shops, and hospitals, there is most of the time “open” WiFi. It seems free at first sight, but will require a login and a password when trying to access a webpage via a browser.

Know that, for this method, you need to be connected to the WiFi via the password. Also note that this method will not bypass anything, it will just give access to nice websites with mask names so they cannot be blocked.

If it was blocked on the browser, all you need to do is go to the “Settings” menu. Once you’re there, look for the “Security” or “Privacy” section—be aware that the naming conventions will vary according to your system and browser. Then, look for a “Block Content” page to list or un-list websites that you want to block or unblock.

How do I connect to WiFi?

Find a web proxy site and use that. If that’s blocked as well, you can use the TOR as a proxy website and anything normally blocked won’t be recognized due to the redirecting.

You have to go into the Google Chrome store and download a free VPN. The best one is ZenMate. I don’t recommend Hola.
