You probably have to set something that allows adult content with your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If using it outside the home (i.e. your phone) the same applies but this time with your phone provider.

Knowing BT they probably have adult content being blocked by default. In which case you will have to ask them to remove it. You also wont be able to access national lottery betting sites etc if thats the case

Try connecting your device wired directly to the router. That will establish if the same issue is there across router connections. Ie both hard wired and wifi.

If its only on wifi you may have to adjust your router settings. Ie you may have blocked a site inadvertently.

Have you tried it on mobile data only. If its still not working them your mobile network provider needs to remove adult content blocking and you were probably connecting that way when you thought you were on wifi

This is the issue I can get on everything apart from this and the sister site. All betting apps and other adult sites work fine. It’s puzzling.

Try using a VPN (there are free ones out there such as Proton VPN free edition). If it is your ISP blocking the site, then using VPN should bypass their restrictions. Otherwise no idea.

A vpn should work. I find winscribe free version works fine. If you confirm your email address they up the free data allowance from 2 gb to 10 gb per month

That said if there is only a couple of sites you can’t get on to. Also if you can get onto the lottery and gambling sites. Then it’s not adult content blocking. It honestly sounds like somehow someone has added a site a group of sites or an IP range into the block list on your router. We do it frequently in industry blocking staff from looking up other jobs while at their desks

Without knowing your router it would be difficult to give you advice. You could as a last resort reset your router back to factory settings. That should only put your connection down for the time it takes to reset it. It should come back with your bt settings restored. However, if you have cctv or an alarm system on your network, that requires port forwarding to allow you access when away from home. Those would need to be restored to allow your devices to connect remotely

We can access the site on Wifi but not on mobile network (or the other way round!). We get a connection/security/certificate error.

If you get a connection/security/certificate error accessing the site on 4G/mobile-data but not on WiFi (or, the other way round!) it means your mobile network (or ISP if on wifi) has blocked your device from adult content. Some mobile networks have started to do this to phones that have always been 18+ verified and some seemingly do it randomly. If you contact your mobile network on their helpline or via their website, you will see how to age verify your mobile account. The error you see is your ISP trying to display a message which does not show on a secure/ssl site like Fab. We've created a special page you can view which isn't served over secure/ssl so should be able to see the underlying message, here.

Once you have age verified your phone, your network usually advises turning the phone off then on again. It sometimes takes a few minutes then for the block to be removed.

It's compulsory for it to be blocked by all ISPs now

Lol - I opened this thinking something else. For some reason I read the title as "Wifey not allowing me to get on fab"

How inconsiderate of her!
