OTish WEb problem accessing page
I can access the MCOL (Money Claim On-line) website - but when I click on log-in it goes to the Government Gateway and then times out. When I go straight to the Government Gateway website: http://www.gateway.gov.uk/ It again times out. So the problem seems to be accessing that particular site itself. I have turned off Defender - no difference. I have tried pinging and trace route the site - both by website name and also by IP address. No joy. All other sites - including secure, work fine Can anyone throw any light on it - or just point me to a newsgroup in which it will be more appropriate. It appears to be a problem with my Internet access - it works OK via 4G |

Since October, people who have non-TLS browsers can't connect to most government online services, e.g. https://www.gov.uk/government/public...service-availa bility-and-issues/self-assessment-service-availability-and-issues -- Les |

Often seems to sort out odd problems like this. Tim |

Tim -- the biggest threat to humanity comes from socialism, which has utterly diverted our attention away from what really matters to our existential survival, to indulging in navel gazing and faux moral investigations into what the world ought to be, whilst we fail utterly to deal with what it actually is. |
