Walmart blocking websites?

[bingbongbangbung]

I can access YouTube, Twitch, Odysee, and Banned. video, but BitChute, Rumble, and MGTOW. tv I can't access wtf. I'm using their wi-fi over my phone, which is Samsung Galaxy A34 5G and uses Android 13 (One UI 5.1). I have no issues accessing these websites at home of course. And for YouTube, the comments are all hidden because Walmart is retarded; I haven't tested this for Twitch but it'll probably be the same.

It’s their wifi. They can block you from using sites if they want to. A lot of public wifi providers do this. It’s no different than schools blocking their students from looking at NSFW content on the school wifi.

Rumble isn't even that bad; it's actually more PC than BitChute and Odysee

[bingbongbangbung]

And they're technically private, since they're not paid for by taxpayers nor affiliated with the government

Just try using 1.1.1.1 and it should work. Most of them dont consider tunneling while designing their firewall.

[bingbongbangbung]

Is that DNS

[_no_one_]

yeah its cloudflare warp

[_no_one_]

most wifi are by default routed through 8.8.8.8 that is google and most api are used to capturing traffic over that route so private dns and warp go under the radar many times.

Uh I tried that for my phone but I can't save it. The save button is greyed out after I choose Private DNS Provider and type in 1.1.1.1 ; I'm on Samsung Galaxy A34 5G and using Android 14 + One UI 6.0

[bingbongbangbung]

What do I put under Private DNS Provider? CloudFlare and Cloudflare don't work either

[bingbongbangbung]

1.1.1.1. cloudflare-dns. com

Is this it or something else? I can now save it, but I get cut off from the internet

[_no_one_]

their provider is 1dot1dot1dot1. cloudflare-dns. com If that doesn't work etiher just type 1.1.1.1 in your browser and you can then download their cloudflare-warp which is the same thing just gives u some additional controls.

It asked me to install some app on Google Play which is basically a VPN. Seems that Perplexity app for whatever reason can't load for me anymore. Perplexity is an alternative to ChatGPT

Yeah its an app, kind of a vpn but not really its a tunnel to Singapore lol and a masked IP. Many services ban that IP tho due to its bot like behaviour so i sometimes turn of the warp and use 1.1.1.1 only and works.

They don't want workers messing around.

Are you using Walmart WiFi to save money?

[bingbongbangbung]

No I was at Walmart, but I have internet at home
