“OnlineClock.net is a time utility, not a game. Please whitelist clock.domain.com, time.onlineclock.net, etc.”

The exact reasons for the banning of OnlineClock.net are unclear, but several factors may have contributed to this decision:

| Scenario | Feature response | |----------|------------------| | School blocks all “clock” URLs via keyword filter | Ban detection system flags HTTP 403 in test from school IP range. Admin gets alert. | | Russian ISPs block site due to old shared IP | Dashboard shows partial block; user reports confirm pattern. | | Corporate firewall blocks “onlineclock.net” as “Personal” | User visits status page → sees “Blocked: Category: Personal” → clicks Unblock Request tool. |

Long-time users noted a significant change in the site’s "vibe" and layout around early 2026. This shift led to community speculation that the site was sold, and the new management may have implemented stricter, more automated firewall rules that catch legitimate users in the crossfire.
