    Just this week I find I can no longer access certain sites. Yes they are adult in nature but in no way illegal & have never had issues before. Whichever browser I use I get a similar message along the lines of
    Cannot securely connect to this page
    This might be because the site uses outdated or unsafe TLS security

    I am on Windows 10 & my provider is BT.

    Any suggestions welcomed.

    Which browsers have you tried? I use Chrome most of the time and get that sort of message now and then. I switch to another browser and it's OK.

    I deduced that if it was happening on all browsers including my ipad then it was an isp issue, in this case BT.
    So I went to the security settings & found that " Web protect " was on, so turned it off & all was back to normal.
    One mystery remains...….how did it get switched to on?

    Most likely some sort of update turned it on that happens on occasion.
