        My main home broadband provider just blocked this website! I’ve phoned them but they tell me there’s no longer an option to switch off the adult content filter on their home broadband. They suggested I “upgrade” to business broadband which is the same service but costs a LOT more.

        Time for a new ISP. The only way I can access the site right now is by using my phone as a hotspot.

          VPN should fix that?

              Yes, but it’s cheaper to pay for a new ISP than to keep paying for my existing one AND a VPN on top. Although that depends on the price of the ISP.

              Mind you, I might have to get a VPN anyway. The way things are going, we all will.

              Opera (free browser) comes with a free VPN. It only has four locations (USA, Asia, Europe and “optimal location” which for me seems to be Africa) but it gets a view from other parts of the world.

              At the moment, none of those locations are blocking the site.

                  I didn’t realise Opera was still going. It used to be my main browser many years ago.

                  Thank you for letting me know. I’ll download it tonight.
