Because you have a poor ISP. No proper ISP should block anything (except maybe child porn, but that's a slippery slope). Change your DNS to either Google's (8.8.8.8) or OpenDNS.

If you live in a repressive country prohibiting pornography you should get a VPN. I'm satisfied with my choice of strongVPN.com

Unfortunately, that repressive regime I live in is my mum's house.

You should get a VPN/shell host somewhere then... or better yet, tell your mom to knock it off.

"tell your mom to knock it off."

There could be young children who have access to that computer or that network.

In my years of experience:

1) Filters never block shit. 2) You don't "accidentally" find porn anyway.

But god forbid they hypothetically see a breast.

#2 is patently false and the biggest reason I don't try to train people not to use Google as their URL bar. It is not cool when a tween kid tries to visit the Poly Pocket web site and finds something very different.

#1 is partially true. It won't block somebody trying to get around it, but it will prevent #2 from happening.

And a breast is the least of concerns with some of the trash parked on misspelled domains.

"It is not cool when"

Seriously now, what is the worst case scenario? This is a fabricated concern.

Just imagine they learned about Apple.
