I’m trying to get on to the Indian visa online website but can’t. Neither on the laptop, iPad (non magic) or my phone. Just keeps saying website cannot be reached took too long to respond, check firewall & proxy (or something)
Except, when I knock the Wi-Fi off my phone & just use 4G I can get on. Like I’m by-passing the router?
So is it a firewall or a router issue?
There’s no way I want to try & fill in the form on my phone, it’s bad enough on a laptop.
I’m very un tech savvy I’m afraid.
Anyone able to explain in simpleton’s terms please?

Sounds like your ISP is blocking it, for some stupid reason. What's the URL?

Turn on the phone hotspot and then connect the laptop to it.

Tried that but still no joy.
I think I’ll have to get Adam in from round the corner. (Local computer person, at least he’s in the same street) 🤔🧐
