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.

The 1.1.1.1 app appears to just change the DNS server that the phone uses. Some DNS servers, like the OpenDNS FamilySafe option block a lot of content. I assume your provider has a blocklist on some domains, and changing the resolver allows you to get around it.

The app will log every website you visit.
