So, I was at a restaurant the other day and connected to their WiFi (with VPN of course). I wanted to check my personal calendar  (a PHP app)  hosted on this domain Fortreg.com (I am too cheap and too poor to buy another domain).

To my surprise I found that it was blacklisted - as a weapons sales site! For those that know this Blog, there are no sales of ANYTHING on it or the entire domain.
I filled out the contact form provided by the provider FortiGaurd and said that the domain hosts multiple things.

It came back as "Weapons Sales."
I resubmitted saying that there are "NO SALES" of anything.

Well, at least I was then reclassified as just "Weapons."

Even my calendar. Which has no mention of anything firearms related.
I resubmitted for a manager "re-evaluation" which resulted in the same classification.

So, I guess in this modern day and age the company FortiGaurd does not know about things such as subdomains, or multiple site hosting.
In fact, they are apparently unable to separate their filtering based on individual URL. Or maybe they just didn't like my personal calendar or where I get my haircut.

One thing is clear - discrimination against firearms owners is alive and well.
Don't let this stand - if you haven't please join a pro-firearms organization - we have been through a hard year. Here in WA, we face some ridiculously convoluted legislation via initiative.
Oh, if you are bored feel free to let the folks at FortiGaurd.com know that a domain can actually host multiple things. ;)
