Company website being incorrectly blocked

[gshelp]

I have a customer who is trying to visit goldstarit.com on their phone using 4G not wifi and has been blocked from the site as Vodaphone claims it is 18+.

I have had others on the Vodaphone network and people on other providers navigate successfully to it. 

However, another has the problem too, they have the family filter switched on, and when he loaded an incognito browser in chrome and visited goldstarit.com the website was filtered as an 18+ website! He then turned on his VPN and was able to load the site with no problems.

This is now 2 independent instances of Vodafone users demonstrate this issue with - it would appear to point to a family filter of some kind on the Vodafone network.

The site is not blacklisted anywhere and this only occurs on Vodafone network devices with family filter on.

Could someone please advise or ideally resolve the issue please.

Many thanks - Rod
