I'm getting a ridiculous number of false positives, mainly on sportswear retail sites. I will run out of whitelist slots soon. Is there an easy way to get these reviewed and corrected?

@tsr2 Is the blocking happening on both wired and WiFi devices? Have you tried changing the DNS settings? Have you looked at the router logs? What sites are affected?

Vodafone's security is quite happy to allow me to access them, they are only blocked by content controls, but they do not belong in any of the categories it is intended to block.

As for the sites being dodgy, I have seen nothing to support that and I know most of them are legitimate.

One of the sports shops address looks like a second hand car dealer on Google Maps.

There's definitely a car dealer in the area of FDX Sports, but I doubt if that's 1A. Google maps is not great at showing the correct premises in my experience. The company has been registered at that address since 2020 and has up to date accounts filed so, to me, it still looks more legit than not. Even if it wasn't, the others are mostly legit businesses.
