SECURITY

KnowingEE — Sat, 30 Jan 2021 19:27:31 GMT

How is it that security blocks the pages for job search, blocks attempts of running my business through Amazon, blocks my ability to communicate to those who still live about those friends who deceased?

How is it they are forgiven for blocking ability to call 112 in case of emergency?

How is it that court would not register a claim against telecommunications company because it is linked to a ‘security’ operation? I know we live in corrupted times, but has this gone through the entire system already to cause this effect?

Censorship is one, but censorship while starving a subject, limit his communication pathways - this is perfect murder with trace of no evidence - is EE part of this? is it GCHQ as well? or is it special treatment for US pals only?

Im puzzled. Customer Service is beyond reach, so is government, other services...

I’m sure I’m not the only one in this situation.

They don't block any of those at all - do you have content filter on? in your myEE profile.

What page comes up to tell you it's blocked?

which security legislation restricts our ability to search for work?

which legislation forbids looking for work? which one allows for security services to jeopardise our lives by blocking access therefore limititing our liberties? is truth so dangerous? is connecting to family a terrorist threat? does this endanger monarchy or the police force?

That's not an EE block - you're connected to some kinda of VPN (possibly provided by your current job) you can tell as that IP address 'Proxy IP' in this case does not belong to EE

Your VPN Provider is the one blocking the website access.

Get off that VPN and try loading the page again

@Kirigaya_Kazuto

It is the internet/virus security the OP has installed which maybe a VPN service as you have said. I think they might be using Norton.

The error is because the software has identified an insecure site or more likely a link/image on the page the OP is visiting.

Thanks

I get exactly the same error not running a VPN but running Norton. However that's not a Norton warning. It still crops up when I disable Norton.

It's the site jobs.nytimes.com itself giving out that error, powered by Imperva, a cyber security co.

It's only the Jobs part of the NY Times that does this. The nytimes.com itself is fine. Maybe you need to be registered with Jobs to look for jobs at the NY Times.

@XRaySpeX

saying that. I just tried it on my iPhone and I get the exact same error, but it’s not EE blocking the connection at the end of the day. Looks like a website issue, as you said. It may require some sort of registration

that Proxy IP is not VPN related, so I retract that comment, their using a proxy on their end to filter traffic

That site works fine on Sky broadband.

As I said if there is an insecure image that error will occur in Norton. Its terrible bloated software these days.

Try disabling Norton for that site and clearing your cache.

Thanks

The NY Times have done reshuffling by looks of it.

That link didn't work for me on EE network or Sky Broadband but if you use the links within the Menu of the NY Times it works which shows a different link.

@Northerner : I did, as I said, & it still errors.

@BrendonH : That Jobs face page is fine but now click on For Job Seekers / & For Employers / & you get the same error.
