I am being blocked from some websites and cannnot figure out how. I am not a student nor am I trying to access sites from work. This is occurring at my home. While trying to fix things I stumbled upon the Authorities list in the Certificate Manager. What is this list for? And also, where did the items in the list come from?

That are the build-in root certificates and intermediate certificates from servers that you have visited.
