GB blocked at a WiFi spot

If your at Panera Bread you cannot access this site thru their WiFi, they have it blocked and the popup says it's firearms related. Of all the nerve, I can't B/S with you guy's and have coffee at the same time.

    Depends on how they are blockign it, but there are ways around. SSH tunnels to a proxy host, usign your hosts file instead of DNS, etc.

    There is another way to handle the block- email Panera that you are taking your business elsewhere, since they persist in treating you as if you were a child molester looking up kiddy porn on the web. Folks that moralize to me over the evil of firearms do not deserve my financial support. [:(!]

    What? This site is firearms related?

    Does Remote Girl know? [:p]

    Seriously, the whole reason they have WiFi is to get you to lounge around. If they aren't going to let you surf your favorite sites, you SHOULD take your business elsewhere.

    or start taking in your own food and coffee and tell them that as long as you can't access your choices of sites, you figure it's fair to bring your own products. Have 20 of you do it at the same time, and it will be a protest to make the local news as law enforecement has to be called and then they will be forced to state their position on TV, and then they have alienated all firearms owners, which in turn will be followed by tons of "you $uck" e-mails, and maybe then it will be reconsidered.

    I also sent an e-mail and also told them that I was going to post on every gun rights board I could find about their policies and call for a nationwide boycott of their products and services.
