Unable to access https://sex-matters.org

Hi, I'm getting reports from TalkTalk customers (I am one) that they can't access https://sex-matters.org/. Could others who have TalkTalk internet confirm this?

I am the administrator for the website and it was accessible yesterday (and for the last 4 years its been running), so I'm thinking it's an over-zealous content filter..? (It's a registered charity - nothing dodgy).

I also can't access it, but it's not an issue related to your website. It's a TalkTalk peering issue to Cloudflare hosts.

We're not able to access certain CloudFlare hosted websites due to an issue on TalkTalk's end.

Waiting for a response from TalkTalk but they haven't offered one yet.

Ah, thank you for the info! Sounds about right to me. Yes, the website is fine - it loads no problem on other ISPs. So it sounds like a temporary glitch that will be resolved..?

Hopefully. No response from TalkTalk yet, issue has been ongoing for the past 12 hours since 01:00 AM UK Time.

Many sites use CloudFlare, so not being able to access many of them is a huge issue.

But not really surprising that we haven't received any update yet.

@cltrr, you have not started your own topic, as previously asked, and so will not receive a response to your posts from staff.
