Unable to browse Gawker websites when tethered (GN Verizon LTE)

---

Just got my GN LTE yesterday, and now I am seeing the continuation of an issue I saw with my Thunderbolt.

On the phone, everything is fine. But when I tether my laptop (Win 7 Pro) or tablet (GT 8.9), I cannot browse any Gawker family sites. Really strange problem that I have no explanation for.

Anyone else able to confirm?

Thanks

I can confirm. Same setup, the site appears to just time out then default to what appears to be a mobile version of the site's index (i.e. lifehacker, gizmodo, etc.). Sorry this is old but I just tried to search the issue today. Anyone have an idea on how to resolve this? Might check with Gawker support as well...

Also running the 4.0.4 update but still encountering same issue which leads me to wonder if it's something with their site.

Tethered with the plan? If it's not, it could be that the desktop version of the site flags you when you try to view it? Maybe?

I had forgot about this after there were no responses.

Just tried it now, and had no problems. Gawker, Jalopnik, Deadspin are loading fine.
I have absolutely no explanation. I know it was an issue more than once, but I do not use tethering every day to keep track of.
