Hi Paul

Thank you so much for responding.

You were absolutely spot-on with regard that THAT link.

Not so much the OTHER link. Safari did not connect.

Hi Paul

No, I don't use VMs but this is what I see (even after cleaning history,
cookies and restarting). I also have a second Mac and the result is the
same on both machines:-

I'm going to try using a VPN now.

✅ I CAN see the keyboard now.

I've tried both of my Apple computers on two different Routers - both
are BT ISPs and with the same result on each. I'll now look on my iPad.

Sitrep!

I cannot reach the europrinty server using my computers or iPads
connecting through BT, my ISP.

I CAN reach the server when using a VPN connection or when using the
3/4G connection on two different phones.

Any further thoughts Paul/anyone?

Looks like your ISP has *BANNED* you from connecting to
certain IP ranges. Probably due to complaints of criminal activity.

Looks like they did the right thing. IMHO, VPNs should *BAN*
you too.

My header info says ...

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:78.0)

=

But I'm actually using THE most up-to-date macOS Big Sur Version 11.3.1

The only browser I currently have installed is Safari - Version 14.1
(16611.1.21.161.6)

Looks like BT is blocking europrinty.

_Could_ be BT know (or suspect) something about europrinty.

_Could_ be they (or _somewhere_ in your route to europrinty via BT) is
using a DNS that has a corrupted entry. You could test that by using the
URL with the numeric form instead of europrinty.net in it (if I ping it
now from here, I get that europrinty,net is 148.251.225.179, and it
responds in 27 or 28 ms with a TTL of 53; using two different ping
methods). In other words, if you try
https://147.251.225.179/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/07421-600x582.jpg .
Try pinging it from where you are - both by name and number.

Yes, time set correctly.

Can YOU reach the europrinty server?

Tested as you suggested, John.

I, too, now believe that BT is, indeed, blocking the domain.

I was thrown a little off track because I know that 'Apd' uses BT yet he
said it was no problem at HIS home. At that stage I hadn't considered
that he might not be connecting to the site via BT. (How dopey was that?!!)

There's just SO much to remember. When I was first playing with naval
computers in the early 1960s, it was somewhat easier to remember things
- if I recall correctly! ;-)

Thank you for helping, John. :-D

according to you, you've been using computers for roughly 50 years.

that's hardly a newbie.

no need, as it's quite obvious.
