Why is http://www.thechive.com blocked but not https://www.thechive.com?

I have bikini / lingerie category blocked and http://www.thechive.com is blocking fine, but https://www.thechive.com is not.  Any idea why?

It's possible that your ISP is doing some sort of caching, which could lead to inconsistent results between http and https pages. Try flushing the DNS cache on your computer and router, and flushing the browser cache on your computer and see if you get different results.

If that doesn't resolve it confirm that OpenDNS is properly configured, especially that your current IP address is registered on your OpenDNS dashboard.

Also try adding the top level domain thechive.com to your block list and see if this helps prevent access to the site. In general, it shouldn't matter if the domain is http or https, OpenDNS will just block the top level domain in question. If you have any questions or are still experiencing difficulties, please feel free to contact us at https://support.opendns.com.

Interesting that www.thechive.com has a HTTP redirect to thechive.com, no matter if with HTTP or HTTPS.  Normally it is the other way around that example.com is redirected to www.example.com.

"Also try adding the top level domain thechive.com to your block list and see if this helps prevent access to the site."

But the OP said: "I have bikini / lingerie category blocked", and this domain is indeed categorized this way.  Therefore his problem could well be different...
