    A friend of mine is saying his work firewall is preventing him from seeing my blog because it’s coming up as porn.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    Your blog isn’t labeled as porn at WordPress.com or referenced as porn in any search result that I could find. I’m guessing what is likely happening is that he’s using the following URL to visit your site:

    https://miss-spoken.com

    If you try to visit that link yourself, you’ll encounter an error message that says “Your connection is not private” on Google Chrome and a similar message on other browsers. Basically, the HTTPS prefix is trying to establish a secure connection, but that isn’t possible with mapped domains at WordPress.com so it triggers an error. The workaround is to use just the plain http prefix:

    http://miss-spoken.com

    It’s also possible that his work firewall blocks anything not work-related or all sites from WordPress.com. In that case, I’m afraid there wouldn’t be anything we could do to work around the firewall.

    If you could get a screenshot of the message and upload it to your Media Library, I could tell you for sure!
