Blocked Sites?

manspark — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 11:45:23 GMT

Safeguard is not switched on, but I am still experiencing sites which cannot be reached (most importantly NHS sites)

Anyone else experiencing this?

Is there some default blocking (other than Safeguard)?

Should I enable Safeguard and unblock the sites causing me problems?

@manspark What errors are you receiving when trying to access these sites?

from memory (I am not currently home)

"This site cannot be reached"

When you are home, can you give examples? This sounds more like a routing issue, rather than anything to do with Safeguard - to be honest, I can't see why NHS sites, in particular, should be blocked.

@manspark

When you get a chance take a look a look at this thread, I am wondering if this similar to your issue?

I had been experiencing problems on a chromebook, and on two android phones

I went through all the DNS settings on the router (not the original) and also within ChromeOS and not seen the problem recur (fingers crossed).
