Website access blocked for older browsers from 27 May

Our hosting provider is changing a configuration to ensure that our websites, and the data hosted on them stay secure. They will block version 1.1 of the TLS protocol, which allows secure website browsing.

You have a choice between the following:

  • Upgrading your browser to the latest version
  • Changing browsers may help, for example starting to use Chrome
