Can't log on to archive.org

[Silverwhistle]

When I'm using my EE OneTouch WiFi, my access to archive.org (which is useful to me as a source of books) seems to be blocked. Please advise. There was an error message at one point about its certification, but it works fine on other networks and servers.

Hi @Silverwhistle

Thanks for coming to the community. 

Is this happening with all devices when connected to the WiFi? 

Leanne.

[Silverwhistle]

Yes. When it first happened there was an error message (which sadly I haven’t saved) that gave the impression that EE didn’t allow connecting to archive.orgbecause it was ‘anonymous’ or something along those lines.

Hi @Silverwhistle

Can you try clearing your bowser history on the device you are using to connect to the WiFi and try this again?

Leanne.

Hi @Silverwhistle ,

Do you know whether you've turned off "Content Lock" if this is relevant to your connection?

Hi!
Yes, it seems to be on a blanket block for some reason. But I can’t seem to get into the system to turn it off.

Hi @Silverwhistle. 

What happens when you try to access your My EE to manage your content lock?

Thanks, all! I went to the EE shop, passport in hand, yesterday, to get this sorted. They said to leave it 24 hrs so I will try again later today!

best wishes,

Silver.
