I didn't know what Fortiguard was until it started blocking sites I use regularly through public-access internet. This has affected my ability to work on Amazon mTurk (HIT sites are blocked as "newly observed domain" and I can't come back to them form another connection--they're "one shot"), blocked my access to certain political sites (that's a 1rst Amendment violation), locked me out of webcast series (again "newly observed domain"), and cut me off from sites I've accessed for years (often "malicious sites" when they aren't and Fortiguard refuses to change the classification.) I've complained to my city's IT; they claim to have fixed it, but it' still happening. It's BEEN happening since their 2024 October 17 upgrade. (In other words, I have DOZENS of "date of experience")
