I know there are a lot of folk around here who are deeper into
these matters than me, so I'm looking for a way forward. If the
error messages were a bit more helpful, I might know where to
look.

I have a problem with Nottingham Playhouse login which is
puzzling me, and although it may be caused by something they have
changed, it looks like resolution is down to me. I would welcome
any advice.

However, my partner's work laptop using a VPN works OK, as does
her mobile using data.

I can't find any settings in browser, Virgin Media, Kaspersky or

Initially, Playhouse said:

"... the issue may be due to strict security settings on your
devices that block cross-domain traffic - put simply, our booking
page has two domains. One for our website itself and one for our
ticketing system.

I have turned off Enhanced Tracking Protection for the Playhouse
site, but it doesn't help.

The Virgin Media box is in modem mode feeding a Netgear Nighthawk
R7000.

I'm really not sure now where to look to address the issue.

Initially, Playhouse said:

but their ticketing site is a sub-domain of their main domain, so that
shouldn't be blocked, if it was a totally unrelated domain, it would
need work (by them) to allow one domain permission to do CORS between them.

If you were on bt I could understand it as btprootect has been causing maga
problems to alexa and all sorts of things till eventually folk turn it off
in the router. Over enthusiastic black listing. Maybevirgin have something
similar that is affecting you. What happens with pings to the two addresses
and have you tried Edge?

Of course it could be a nameserver issue which is easy to fix by using one

I cant figure out exactly which security thing top twiddle in firefox

But in firefox, rightclick the page and select inspect element to bring
up the debugger, and click on console to see what errors etc are being
reported by te browser in more detail

I've just posted this above, but for clarity:

The loading of
€œhttps://tickets.nottinghamplayhouse....resize=true€�
in a frame is denied by €œX-Frame-Options€œ directive set to
€œSAMEORIGIN€œ. loginlogout.aspx

So it is what I said. you have somehow got an uber strict policy set in
firefox

No, its a configuration option in the webserver that the browser obeys,

Not quite. Servers may request it, but browsers may or may not honour it.

I know there are a lot of folk around here who are deeper into

I have a problem with Nottingham Playhouse login which is
puzzling me, and although it may be caused by something they have
changed, it looks like resolution is down to me. I would welcome
any advice.

If, using my desktop, on
https://nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk/my-account/ I click on
the silhouette to log in, the popup in Firefox reads "Firefox
can't open this page.

Other browsers just show an icon and
"tickets.nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk refused to connect."

Using https://www.whatismybrowser.com/

"Your web browser is:
Firefox 87 on Windows 10
Your web browser is up to date

Your Web Browser's Settings:

Is JavaScript enabled?
Yes - JavaScript is enabled

Are Cookies enabled?
Yes - Cookies are enabled

Are Third-Party Cookies enabled?
Yes - Third-Party Cookies are enabled"

Our laptops behave the same.

My Android tablet using Firefox shows:

"Blocked by X-Frame-Options Policy
This page has an X-Frame-Options Policy that prevents it being
loaded in this context"

Our mobiles behave the same on wi-fi.

However, my partner's work laptop using a VPN works OK, as does
her mobile using data.

I can't find any settings in browser, Virgin Media, Kaspersky or
Router that suggest they might be involved.

Initially, Playhouse said:

"... the issue may be due to strict security settings on your
devices that block cross-domain traffic - put simply, our booking
page has two domains. One for our website itself and one for our
ticketing system.

I have turned off Enhanced Tracking Protection for the Playhouse
site, but it doesn't help.

The Virgin Media box is in modem mode feeding a Netgear Nighthawk
R7000.

I'm really not sure now where to look to address the issue.

There may be an addon to fix it. The post in question was edited
in 2019. Apparently, the most likely looking about:config entry,
doesn't work.

And the site shouldn't do that. They should
find a way to fix it on their end. Not saddle
the user community with the problem.

I wouldn't install an add-on to bypass CORS.

As you say *if* that's the issue, the site should fix it at their end,
but enough people here have said the site gets to a login dialogue, so I
don't think it's a CORS issue anyway, the 401 error that TNP mentioned
earlier is just the standard way for the site to say "you need to login".

To the O/P I suggest running firefox in safemode (Help/Restart with
Add-Ons disabled) and try again, alternatively create a new profile and
run with that (firefox.exe -p)

With add-ons disabled there is no change.

As I said originally, I get the same problem in every browser I
have tried - Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi. The only difference is that,
instead of an explanation I simply get the image of a page with
the corner folded over and a circle with a line through it.

Mouseover text reads "tickets.nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk refused
to connect."

Perhaps your IP address has been mixed up with a known IP address
belonging to a known ticket tout?

As a quick test, you could download and install Opera and turn on the
VPN within it. Then try the website within Opera with the VPN turned on
and see what happens?

By Jove! The Opera VPN allows me in.

So, what is my next move?

What happens if you just try to load the contents of the IFRAME by
itself, not within the main page's IFRAME?

No the silhouette is lost to me as a blind person. However I do hope the
router does not use the virgin name server as its notorious for being out of
date at times and sending you to the wrong place. Use one of the free ones
out there.
