Blocked at your clubs router..which is what the club wi-fi uses . Possibly because this site has an adult section..and Mrs Whitehouse ( or one of her many acolytes ) has complained..After all, "leather".. Although given that you are in the UK , it could be that the club owner has not asked for the porn block to be removed by their ISP. Edited March 11, 2020 by mikesc Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted March 11, 2020 Contributing Member Report Posted March 11, 2020 I don't think thats the reason Mike. I can access this site at my local library on their computers and they have all dodgy sites blocked, and even some not-dodgy sites Quote

Thanks Mike. I'll ask. Never tried an XXX site (well not in the club anyway) Quote
mikesc Posted March 11, 2020 Report Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Maybe the club has just blocked ( for whatever reason ) the "hosting range"..can't think why they would..but.. Try searching LW.net on Google..and then tap the link on the phone..see if you can reach here that way..if not do you get any message or does it just "time out".. fred your library router and connection probably wasn't set up by the same IT person as toxo's club , or may not be using the same "block list" as toxo's club..probably not the same ISP either.

toxo Posted March 11, 2020 Author Report Posted March 11, 2020 Thought I'd cracked it. Bookmarked the page then turned off the wifi. turned it on again, fired up chrome and hit the bookmark. It came up until I clicked on any link and off it went. Quote
mikesc Posted March 11, 2020 Report Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) You'll have to ask their ( the club's ) IT person..sounds like a "block" is in place. You might be able to get around it by looking for a "public VPN" site and then putting the link to the home page here manually ( typing it ) into the VPN "connect" box..That is of course of the club router lets you connect to VPNs ?

Members SaintJoy18 Posted March 13, 2020 Members Report Posted March 13, 2020 I've been having issues as well since the site certificate problem a few weeks ago. I used to be able to use Firefox but it will no longer allow me access so I have had to switch to using Edge. I don't know if it is a certificate problem or a browser issue. Quote
mikesc Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 Using FF on Linux..(I don't let any windows machines connect to the internet )..No problems at all to connect to here since the new cert. Quote
