Thank YOU! My Internet protocol is not finding Free Republic, for some inexplicable reason- since Sunday am, so I had to tether through my phone, and I lost my previous somewhat lengthy reply, going on about what I was cooking for dinner, and what was on the shopping list to compliment my bachelor tastes. Grrr. I’ll be back shortly.
that’s at least 3 of us that are having problems with access to FR. I have Comcast. deks has cox and whatever you have.
I had been getting time out errors since 02/23/2020. I thought FR was down.
I finally did something about it on 02/29/2020.
I burned all day yesterday and then some doing everything I could think of to resolve the time out error, short of buying a new router. I am going to try an old router first.
I don’t think it’s the router.
I don’t think it’s my modem.
I don’t think it’s my desktops.
I don’t think it’s my laptops.
I don’t think it’s my tablet.
I don’t think it’s my cell phones.
I don’t think it’s my network.
I don’t think it’s any browser.
I do think it’s FR. But if it is, it should probably be more than us 3.
I am using a proxy work around. There are two that are pretty good.
I like this one:
https://www.hidemyass.com/en-us/proxy
it’s somewhat self explanatory. If you need some help streamlining it, PM me.
there is also a proxy extension here for chrome or firefox

this one is ok but you have to refresh alot.
If you need help, PM me.
FreeRegards
