# END SELFCONTROL BLOCK |
Yes
Blocklist
Just a small number of domains like Reuters, NYTimes, Twitter, etc none of which are CDNs or have any obvious relationship to Paypal or its related businesses
It's been happening for years
https://paypal.com loads but https://www.paypalobjects.com is blocked. The latter domain hosts all external assets (JS/CSS/etc) for the former, so the Paypal site is functionally broken. This is particularly problematic for me because I block the news sites to focus on work, which includes shipping orders received via Paypal. I also clicked through the list of sites which other people reported above. I could access all of those, even with SelfControl running, with the sole exception of http://ocw.mit.edu |
Yes
Blocklist
It's been happening for a month
I have set a block for 90 days, I think putting tv.apple.com in the list is not letting load content in the apple music app on macos, I am able to use the apple music app on iphone. |

svelte.dev as well as subdomain learn.svelte.dev
Yes
Blocklist
Several months
If I turn on my VPN while running a SelfControl block, I am able to visit svelte.dev, though sites that are on my blocklist remain unavailable. |
https://headlessui.com/ and many other sites have been mentioned by people in the comments.
What I discovered is that rebooting after starting the timer is the only thing that consistently helps remove collateral blocks. This method worked for me when I couldn't open most of the sites mentioned in other comments. After rebooting, all sites loaded successfully, except for those on the blocklist. I suggest trying to reboot after starting the timer. |

bun.sh
Yes
Blocklist
Just now
Both bun.sh (not on the blacklist) and vas3k.ru (on the blacklist) resolve to 188.114.96.7 188.114.97.7. These IP addresses belong to Cloudflare. I have checked that packets to them are not routed, and DNS does not play a role: selfcontrolapp.com is blocked as well 😁 |
Hi I really like this software and i know its free and great! Any way we can debug what's happening here? I am also not able to access pythonhosted.org. Pretty much a dealbreaker since I cannot install python packages. I did try somethings with macosx |

Workplace is Facebook's enterprise solution. Though it's the same company, the products are different, but I can imagine how that might be hard to handle. 🤔 |

and others
This is a meta-issue to contain all of the cases where a specific website or service is blocked, but it shouldn't be (it's not on your blocklist). Please add all such problems as comments on this issue, instead of creating new bug reports for each website.
Debugging Steps Before Adding a Site To This List
Summary (i.e. your situation)
Blocks generally work for me (websites are blocked properly), but this one specific website or service is blocked despite it not being on my blocklist. I'm on the latest version of SelfControl, double-checked that the site is not on my blocklist, have checked that the site is accessible from other devices and have already tried clearing my browser cache. I've run multiple blocks and this behavior is consistent.
How To Add a Site
Search this page (Cmd-F) to see if the website is already on this list. If so, react to that comment with a thumbs-up, instead of adding a new comment.
If not, add a comment on this issue in the following format:
Site / Host Name:
Have you followed all of the above debugging steps before adding this site? (Yes/No)
Are you using a blocklist or allowlist (fka whitelist) block?
If you're using a blocklist, what other websites are on your blocklist?
How long have you noticed this issue?
