I don't know if anyone else have found this but the fiat forum (including the app) is blocked on most public access wifi hot spots

There is usually no obvious reason for this but I recently tried to look at the app while the other half was shopping (admit it you've all been there) and this popped up on my phone

Clearly the site its self isn't the issue, I wondered if its the adverts or something else, what ever the case it probably means the site is being blocked by servers all over including being completely blocked by some countries

I've found the site blocked in quite a few places so do you need to flag it at every location or does open DNS manage the whole system? All apple store's free wifi blocks the forum too as well as some Starbucks and many restaurants
 
Perhaps we are being confused with fistforum; the content of which would quite rightly be blocked by most public wifi administrators.

I've also noticed this blocking, but there is no consistency to it; you can access the forum from the apple store in Milton Keynes, but not the apple store in Watford.

FYI this is because of the parental block on your internet. contact your provider and ask them to remove it. or change the settings on your online account.

lol, no it's not, it's WiFi providers (Cloud, Arqiva, etc) applying blocks on certain categories of sites ie. porn, which FF seems to have been miscategorised as.

indeed you needed to have read from the start, this is public access wifi nothing to do with personal home internet access
