An Outpost client's site that covers the LGBTQ+ community was blocked by CUNY's J-School's web filtering service, which said it was some scam/adware site.
CUNY IT refused to explain.
But since it's a public university, I filed a Freedom of Information request to figure out what tool they used.
It was Palo Alto Networks filtering and I found there's an online site to test URLs and request reclassification.

Problem solved, no thanks to the IT dept
Public records FTW
