I dont understand why mowser.com should be on the IWF list. Their list
contains URLs of sites known to contain material relating to child
sexual abuse and mowser.com appears to be a proxy!

You could complain to the IWF!

BTW, I have no problem with anyone blocking access to such sites,
providing it is accurate!

Regards,
Tony.
