website blocked

a web site ( forum) that I've used for years has been blocked by talktalk.

It's the only explanation as I can log-in, read and reply to posts using my mobile IP but will only allow three pages (home page, log-in and forum section) before timing out on talktalk.

I've tried .two different hubs ( mine and my parents). PC via WiFi & ethernet & , Firefox, Edge & Internet Explorer. And my mobile via WiFi

Homesafe is technically off., Kids filter is off, homework, scams, virus scan...

Good morning,

I'm sorry to hear this. Have you tried powering down the router for a full 30 minutes as this will clear the current session?

kind of ..my TT service went down again and I switched off the router & Openreach box over night.

Partially solved, apparently the site had a DOS attack 3-4 weeks ago hence initial the time outs?

But that doesn't explain why I can access the site tesco mobile and not on TT (two households), other members are not having the same issues.

Do you see a specific error message when you can't load this site?

Thanks

hi, apparently the forum is still suffering the aftermath of DOS attack..can't even access via mobile now.

tab- server not found/problem loading page

An error occurred during a connection to.******bbs.com.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.

Would you send me a personal message with the url in and I'll see if I can connect from the TalkTalk connection here.
