I've been tweeting @btcare

They have told meit is not blocked and to check my DNS settings. They are all fine. I can access it fine if I turn of my WIFI.

Therefore it is not an issue with the site or my pc set up. It must therefore be being blocked by BT. They are not accepting this. I have told them a lot of people are having the same issue and there are 2 threads currently running on mumsnet about this.

If more people tweet them they might actually believe it........

Apparently they’ve changed web hosts this weekend, so that could explain some of the outages, as well as the adult blocks on mobiles.

PrincessWire · 14/10/2018 10:17

Me too: fine on mobile data but not on wifi.

I can get onto the site on my mobile (Giffgaff) but not broadband (BT).

We didn't have any content filters on BT because we've just switched to them.

OpalIridescence · 14/10/2018 10:05

I was on the site all morning yesterday, then from 4 till now I can't get on.

ThursdayNextIsMyHero · 14/10/2018 09:12

This must be a recent change because I could access the site a couple of days ago.

ThursdayNextIsMyHero · 14/10/2018 08:58

I can access fairplayforwomen.com on mobile data (O2) but not on wifi (Virgin media)

papersmile · 14/10/2018 08:51

It's gone down again.

Thanks oopster

OldCrone · 14/10/2018 00:07

I can get on the site using a VPN but not without.

oopster · 14/10/2018 00:02

If you can access gendertrender on your home WiFi but not your mobile, it’s probably because of an adult content block by your mobile provider. The methods they use to determine whether a site contains adult content is not the best, but you can have the block lifted if you ask them. It’s basically to stop kids from accessing things they shouldn’t be accessing. It’s a bit frustrating for an adult, as as well as blocking the “proper” adult websites, there are ones that are perfectly suitable for all that get included.

Gendertrender site works on my WiFi but not my 02 phone. Always been like that. It’s odd.

huh. Maybe a little transsomeone doesn't want feminists to access FairPlay's help page for filling in the consultation. Here's the archive version...

It works for me if I access it from Germany, but not from the UK.

HandsOffMyRights · 13/10/2018 22:25

It doesn't work for me with phone wifi on or off

Stilettosandan0venglove · 13/10/2018 22:19

It works for me on my phone when I turn off wifi.

EsmesRedPetticoat · 13/10/2018 22:15

Still down for me but reading this thread has prompted me to send my consultation response.

OpalIridescence · 13/10/2018 21:52

Still down for me, is everyone else back on?

I can still get it, I'm guessing traffic is high.

theOtherPamAyres · 13/10/2018 18:05
