EE blocking website

MitchColin — Tue, 29 Apr 2025 13:39:18 GMT

EE is blocking this website https://www.verytastyworld.com/ It's a legit website which has been scanned many times and is deemed safe. Why would EE be blocking it?

Must be a dodgy site! Norton doesn't think much of it & blocks it.

@MitchColin looks like something has gone wrong with the site, Goofle seems to think it is valid but Norton will not allow it to be loaded.

It isn't dodgy. It's my site and has been scanned repeatedly. Norton erroneously logged it as malicious - I logged a dispute and Norton now claim it is safe. But are still blocking it.

Thank you for looking but there is nothing wrong with the site. Our host has scanned it repeatedly. Norton blocked it erroneously but I logged a dispute and they now say it is safe. However, it still seems blocked. I assume that EE uses Norton to assess whether a site is safe?

No, it is Norton on my PC that is blocking it, not EE.

Same here, I can do a trace route to it ok, so it is not blocked. But Norton on my laptop will not allow me to load it.

Thanks for checking - and clarifying that it is Norton. Appreciate your help.

@MitchColin No worries, glad to help, but do let us know when the Norton issue gets resolved.

Welcome to the Community, @MitchColin !
Thanks for flagging this too 😊

I've had a double check and this website is working fine for me on both EE mobile data and broadband, so it does look like it's being categorised by elsewhere like @XRaySpeX and @Mustrum have suggested.

Fingers crossed you manage to get this sorted with Norton, and please keep us posted on how you get on, too.

Thank you. Appreciate your reply. Yes, it's really frustrating but it was helpful to know that it was Norton doing the blocking, even if they have already reassigned the website as safe.

Norton still doing it.
