  1. Seeing an Optimum security warning? If you trust the site, choose continue anyway on that page.
  2. With Advanced Security: sign in at optimum.net and open Advanced Security.
  3. Under Block & allow lists, remove the site (check the profile’s list too), or turn off Malware and Phishing Protections or Search Protection.

Only see the built-in McAfee security, with no switch? It filters by DNS. Setting a public DNS on your router or device gets around it.
