SOLVED Problem accessing some pages online

[Martin Brown]

I have been trying to access a VPN site (Proton), and one or two others sites but Safari won't let me. I have tried turning off all anti-malware and Ad blocker apps, rebooting and re-trying but still I get the same message as pre the Screenshot attached. OK, for some reason no Screenshot. But the message reads "Cannot secure a safe connection".

Hi,

Not at home so on my 2010 MacBook running Safari 13.0.3 and as screen shot shows have no issues, so can't explain it.

Resolved. Had to install TunnelBear for Mac onto a memory stick on my Dell laptop. Then install it onto my iMac, and then I was able to access the pages I needed to, in order to download the VPN I normally use! The problem seems to be Virgin ISP's "Parental Lock", and unlocking that is a seriously major task, given Virgin's appalling (lack of) customer help. At least I am now sorted, but what a kerfuffle!
