    Have you enabled Smart Security; check status via Connect app's Home screen?

Hi Client62, yes that's exactly what I should have got on my PC.

As mentioned by 用心棒 about Virgin SMART security, after switchingg it off, it has stopped blocking the access to the server. So obviously, this new SMART security thinks, it's a dodgy website, even though it categorises the risk is 'low '.  So thank you for recommending that solution.

This workaround solves the problem, but it bypasses the so called 'SMART security. So it's up to VIRGIN to work on that.

Thanks to all of you (Client62, PlantPot17, 用心棒) , for taking the time, to guide and resolve my issue. Much appreciated.

      Indeed. Who /what is PlantPot17? What sorcery is it to have 37 posts on profile but none to view? Something is rotten in the state of Denmark etc.
