Calendar down in the UK
For the past few days, the whole website, including the calendar, has been unavailable in the UK. It just refuses to load, and gives a "connection timed out" error message. The only way to access it, or to post this message here, is via a VPN to shift my location out of the UK. Is this a known issue for everyone, or just me? (I've tried multiple devices, and all are having the same problem.) It's almost like it is being actively blocked in the UK...

Re: Calendar down in the UK
I've tested both https://localendar.com and a public calendar using https://wonderproxy.com/global-site-rendering and not seeing any blockage issues in the UK or other parts of the work.

Out of curiosity, are you hitting localendar with http:// or https:// ? I could understand if some ISPs did not like http:// addresses.

Also - are you able to hit it successfully from your phone?

Sorry for the delay replying!

The calendar started working again after a few days, but has now stopped again this past couple of days. So, once more, I can't access it from a UK IP address, but can if I use a VPN to shift my location to somewhere else.

I've tried both http:// and https://, but it makes no difference. It also makes no difference which browser I use.

And unfortunately I can't check on my phone as my 4G phone is broken (PAYG, so I don't get a replacement from the network and have to buy a replacement myself). So I'm currently having to rely on an old 3G one which has no data capability due to the 3G switch-off - it is using 2G for calls and texts, and WiFi where available, but has no mobile data...

Re: Calendar down in the UK
This is very strange since I can use a VPN in the UK to test this (as well as other services) and I don't have any issue. Is it possible that your IP provider is blocking localendar for some reason?

Do they have any type of online form where you could report your problem? They may need to whitelist localendar if they have incorrectly blocked it for some reason.
