unblocked
This term describes a state of openness, whether physical or digital. In a physical sense, it refers to the removal of a clog or obstruction, often associated with plumbing, arteries, or ventilation. The connotation is one of relief or restoration of function.
In a digital context, it refers to the lifting of a restriction. It is frequently used in the context of internet censorship or corporate firewalls. While "accessible" is a broader synonym, "unblocked" specifically implies that a previous barrier or ban has been intentionally removed.
