Is purpose evaluation required for answering a question?

I was told that policy circumvention is off topic but on one hand I didn't find it in https://serverfault.com/help/on-topic, on the other hand, I doubt people are able to tell the true purpose of the questioner.

How is this question

"How to route requests to https://www.example.com to a proxy server?
I've installed HAProxy but can't figure out the rules"

comparing to a more detailed explanation

"How to route requests to https://www.example.porn to a proxy server because my company doesn't allow us to access adult content?
I've installed HAProxy but can't figure out the rules"?

Are they all on topic or off topic?
Why?
