Verizon Wireless blocking access to this site?
Any other Verizon customers notice they are unable to access this site when using cellular data (IE when out and about)?
If I visit the URL while using my phone the page never loads and I get a dead white screen. Has been doing this for a month. As soon as I turn on WiFi and connect to my home network or any other network, the site loads fine. I've tested this a dozen times and am beginning to suspect Verizon is blocking the servers for USAsg.

[b]First[/b]: Yes, I get the same result and have for several months. I also did NOT have this problem at some point in the past as I'm sure I checked USASG on my way to several AMP outings over the last year, or so.
[b]Secondly[/b]: Does anyone have "Verizon Home Internet" service to verify if this site is ALSO blocked on Verizon's home offering? I would think it would be since it's the same cellular network, but I'd kinda like to verify that assumption, as I've been keenly interested in dumping my horrible ComCrap Internet service for Verizon Home Internet as soon as I can get it at my address (probably not anytime soon).
[b]Finally[/b]: Has anyone tried the suggested TOR Browser, with built-in VPN, to verify if that does, indeed, circumvent the issue... or ANY VPN for that matter. I don't pretend to completely understand how VPNs work, but it seems to me that any VPN is still going to be traveling over Verizon's network (and servers) as long as you're using the Verizon Cellular Network and will still get blocked regardless of the apparent point of origin (as disguised by the VPN).
[b][red]EDIT/UPDATE!!:[/red][/b] I just downloaded the free version of the Proton VPN to my iPhone, turned off my Wi-Fi (so I'm on Verizon's LTE cellular network), configured the VPN app (in, like, 30 seconds!... amazingly easy!), and it seems to work fine. Also, doing a Google search from outside USASG let me to an extensive discussion on this topic in the [u]MICHIGAN[/u]/[u]DETROIT[/u]/[u]GENERAL REPORTS[/u] forum on USASG back around February of 2023 (about page 4 or 5 as of this moment).
I'm still curious and wondering if Verizon Home Internet is affected in the same manner as Verizon Mobile (phone) Service.
