How to unblock TeamViewer - the SAFE way
TeamViewer is blocked by TalkTalk as part of ‘Scam Protection’, so If you want to use it for remote working you’ll need to unblock it. Here’s how:
Log into ‘your TalkTalk account and click on “My package and services”, then go to “My security settings”.
Once there, you could turn off “Scam Protection” to allow TeamViewer to work, but that is NOT a good idea as it will unblock everything! There is a SAFER WAY:
Turn on “Kid Safe” and go to “Kid Safe Settings”. Even if you don’t have kids you might want to tick one or two types of websites to block (someone might visit someday).
Then “Click here to manually block or allow websites”.
In the “Website URL” box type teamviewer.com, click “Allow” then “Save changes”.
You should now be able to access TeamViewer.
