Hi,
I'm an O2 customer and when I access my new website www.onethousandmoons.com it is blocked by O2. I have checked O2's website and it says it's being blocked because the website is an Anonymizer (whatever that means).
Can somebody at O2 please look into this. I first reported by phone and web in December 2014 and have heard NOTHING back yet.
Thanks, Simon.

It means the company that is hosting your website is running through an annoymous IP and is therefore "hiding" you from the rest of the world.
This kind of practice is often used by people with something to hide from and many isp's will block these sites.

"An anonymizer or an anonymous proxy is a tool that attempts to make activity on the Internet untraceable. It is a proxy server computer that acts as an intermediary and privacy shield between a client computer and the rest of the Internet. It accesses the Internet on the user's behalf, protecting personal information by hiding the client computer's identifying information"
That's why.
@MI5 has asked who is hosting it as that might hold the answer.
http://www.hostgator.com/ appear to be hosting.

The worrying part of this to me, is that during my very short investigation I discovered the OPs personal data including full name, postal address, mobile phone number and email address

An Anonymizer produced all that? Wow! Must be a good one.
