Circle Blocking Known Sites

My household uses the free Circle program. Around a month or two ago, Circle started randomly blocking sites we've visiting many times before and/or sites that do not fit any sort of blocked category...

Hello kristib,

 

Welcome to the community! May you provide us with the router model and firmware version your router is currently on.

    My circle filters/blocks most websites too.  Under history, I do not see the sites to "allow" them.  I have to set filter to "none" or disable circle to use internet.  Firmware V2.3.5.12_1.0.8

      Thanks. I do want to use Circle, so I don't want to disable it.

      I have the same issue. It has occurred off and on and usually clears with a router reboot. However I’ve rebooted a few times in the last week and can’t get rid of the problem, other than turning Circle off. I’ve also found if I try the same site several times it may work eventually. By no means valid solutions, but hopefully the extra info can help someone fix the issue.
