Visible by Verizon blocks catbox and fix using 1.1.1.1 by Cloudflare

I've upgraded my sailfoam and wanted to give Visible by Verizon a shot. It's Verizon, just without stores and humans to talk, just online chat.

This phone can hold two SIMs, so I can maintain my regular carrier and Visible at the same time. Visible's one drawback is that they block catbox.moe...neither Xfinity nor T-Mobile block catbox. Although the 15 day card-free trial of the network is pretty sweet.

Since I'm a luddite, I discovered 1.1.1.1 is an app that runs a VPN on the phone (or some such technological loophole). While running that, using SIM data from Visible, I can get catbox to work just fine.

Again, luddite here...blackpill me on 1.1.1.1 by Cloudflare or Visible by Verizon.

It is not just Verizon without stores. Their networking is shared with second tier ISPs so if you are deemed to be using too much data you are passed on to another in-group ISP and sime of them suck, but you can get assigned a potentially other one by putting your phone in airplane mode for about a minute.

Anyway, Cloudflare blocks most archive.today domains.

Use OpenDNS instead.
