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.

I received an update - I misunderstood and the router was not replaced. Days offline and “Everything worked except my access to FR. wired & wireless. I was ok on the Verizon network but not comcast.” That report was multi-day. Maybe it’s part of FR’s overall down episodes where “some folks can access” but rest of bandwidth is hogged. I still think VPN might be a good idea with peeps posting links to otherwise unfamiliar sites with no description etc. :)

Sorry for any undue stress I may have caused.
