In again around what feels like my age hahahahha. So, last time this time (ha that made no sense) I wasn’t able to access FR. I downloaded Opera. That worked well for a week, then again, 3 days of not being able to access until I noticed I had made a “favorite” posting a comment (with me still cuz I’m not), so I was able to come in through a very very back door.

Then I got a pm from deks saying it WAS probably my modem. So.. sigh... will get a new one.

stylin19a has been working through the problem and luckily the new router restored normal access.

With the Opera VPN access to FR... sometimes I clear all the browsing data and restart it to get it working again.

Glad you're back online, petey. I've received a few pm's with FReeQs not able to access the site (but able to access other webpages) and in once case, having to replace the router.

Maybe it's time for VPN? It may help avoid days missed on FR, but if VPN is not for you, we'll still save a space for you. :)

The overall best VPN services encrypt all your internet traffic and pass it through a private tunnel to their own secure servers so that no one can see what you're reading or downloading - not the government, not your ISP, not even the VPN service itself.

Very simply, a VPN (short for virtual private network) is an app you can download for your mobile or laptop that allows you to hide your location, identity and IP address from the rest of the internet.

All internet content is completely encrypted - securely jumbled so no one could read it even if they intercepted it - between the VPN server and your device.

By doing this, a VPN can protect your data, keeping it safe and anonymous while you connect with your online banking account, favorite retailer or any other site. So if you want to keep your emails, browsing history or bank details away from potential prying eyes, a VPN is the way to do it.

VPNs are becoming more and more mainstream, with analysts predicting the market will be worth over $50 billion by 2024. But which is the best VPN? These are out top picks.

The best VPN services are:

Reposting this because I had the word "FREE" in there and these are paid programs.
