So I got a new modem from Comcast for my office. First day using it I couldn't pull up the sites on one of my servers so I start freaking out calling up my host. After doing traces and asking others figured it was just my office computer that couldn't resolve any domains on my host.

So I called up Comcast and after alot of tech support bullshit I get to a level of tech support that can actually help out, and he said the modem/router that they give now has built in site filtering put into the modems hardware and it's turned on by default. So I ask him how I can access this censoring function so I can turn it off and he said customers cannot access it only comcast can switch it off from their end.

I was blown away and the tech guy even said "yeah it's a big WTF moment alot of us had when we saw this".

Can't believe I've never heard of this and can't find anything in google about it.
