Hi there,

Unfortunately we don't have control over how/when we are flagged by McAfee Security (which is used by your CenturyLink router). We can only appeal the flag which takes an unknown length of time to be resolved.

In our case, the URL that serves all of our images and layout/styling configuration (CSS) has been blocked by McAfee/your router. Sometimes your router/firewall software will show you a warning which you can accept, but because pathofexile.com itself hasn't been flagged, you will not see this - although you may see it if you try to view an image directly, eg. https://web.poecdn.com/protected/image/layout/necropolislogo.png?v=1712638342024&key=HZPht4SJQXcRAksZEh1cgA .

The images you load will be cached by your browser and not re-fetched for a while so the images may continue to work after re-enabling "cybersecurty", but probably only for about a day or until you load an image that your browser hasn't previously loaded.

As you found, there are workarounds that you can employ until the flag is reviewed.
