FabSwingers.com forum: Site only works via VPN when not on wifi

Hi all,

As per subject, the site doesn't load up for me when on 4G/5G, at all, unless I turn my VPN on.

My suspicion is that it's been blocked by my mobile carrier, since sites such PH or XH also suffer the same issue...

Any workarounds, other than keeping my VPN on 24/7?

Many thanks.

Ring the carrier and ask them to unblock.

Likely gambling sites are probably also blocked if you don't want to tell them you want "adult content".

We can access the site on Wifi but not on mobile network (or the other way round!). We get a connection/security/certificate error.

If you get a connection/security/certificate error accessing the site on 4G/mobile-data but not on WiFi (or, the other way round!) it means your mobile network (or ISP if on wifi) has blocked your device from adult content. Some mobile networks have started to do this to phones that have always been 18+ verified and some seemingly do it randomly. If you contact your mobile network on their helpline or via their website, you will see how to age verify your mobile account. The error you see is your ISP trying to display a message which does not show on a secure/ssl site like Fab. We've created a special page you can view which isn't served over secure/ssl so should be able to see the underlying message, here.

Once you have age verified your phone, your network usually advises turning the phone off then on again. It sometimes takes a few minutes then for the block to be removed.
