How to unblock websites on Safari for Mac?

It may be due to Screen Time restrictions, parental controls, or geo-blocks. Here are simple ways to unblock websites and restore full access:

1. Disable Screen Time Restrictions

Screen Time can block access to specific websites. To remove these restrictions:

• Go to: System Settings (or System Preferences) > Screen Time.
• Select: Your user account.
• If locked: Enter your Screen Time passcode.
• Click on: Content & Privacy > Web Content.
• Choose: Unrestricted Access.

This will remove all website restrictions set by Screen Time.

2. Turn Off Parental Controls (macOS Mojave or earlier)

If you're using an older macOS version:

• Open: System Preferences > Parental Controls.
• Unlock: The settings using your admin password.
• Select: Your user profile.
• Choose: Allow unrestricted access to websites.

This will disable website filtering applied through parental controls.

3. Use a VPN to Bypass Geo-Blocking

Some websites may be restricted based on your location. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) can help:

• Install: A trusted VPN like Private Internet Access.
• Connect: To a different region or country.
• Reopen: Safari and access the blocked site.

VPNs mask your IP address and help you bypass regional restrictions securely.
