Level1techs.com blocked by palo alto web filtering as a games site

[Klingon00]

I just discovered that Level1Techs.com is now being filtered by networks filtered by palo alto web filtering as a games site. That's a shame because I enjoy reading the site for lots more reasons than for games and gaming news on my lunch break.

I wonder what the chances of getting that classification appealed?

https://urlfiltering.paloaltonetworks.com/testasite/urlquery Doesnt show up that way to me, guessing its a local classification

Yep, that appears to be the case... oh well. Probably not much I can do.

I recategorize websites for folks every now and then. Just call the guys up and tell then youd kike it recategorized to technology. They can override it on the firewall easy.

Level1techs.com and forum.level1techs.com categorized as games

It seems that the PaloAlto Webfilter decided that level1techs.com and forum.level1techs.com are affiliated with games and runs them under the category games in their pan-db webfilter. I requested a change to the category computer-and-internet-info. Hope the change will be quick so the few who are behind a Palo Alto Firewall where games are blocked can access the site again.
