I'm being driven nuts. For the life of me, I cant access Fab on my mobile network. I get an SSL error hat the site is not secure when I try. But connection is fine when on wifi.
I've turned off mobile provider blocks, reduced settings on my phone and still no joy.
Any advice please? X |

I have the same issue with Vodafone and it tells me to log into my account to change my settings, I’ve never bothered doing it as I only really come on here when I’m at home and on Wi-Fi, I only noticed when the Wi-Fi was down. If you have an I phone there’s an option in settings to change access from ‘unlimited’ to ‘limited adult sites’ and you can list sites that you want access to. I doubt that will help though as it’s probably your service provider that’s blocking it as you can access it with Wi-Fi, but maybe worth a try.
Alternatively, try copying the error message that comes up and pasting it into a Google search, I’m sure you’ll get a few results telling you how to resolve it, if you can. |

Cheers, I did the Google thing before asking. Am an android user and think I've made all the right changes. I'll try again tomorrow. And thanks for taking the time out to reply x |

The site's SSL (or, more correctly, TLS) certificate is perfectly valid. However, many mobile providers will block sites that identify as being suitable for adults. Sometimes, this causes the target website (www.fabswingers.com) to be redirected by the mobile provider to a "safety page" (www.mobileprovider.com/Danger-Will-Robinson) for which the SSL/TLS certificate is not valid for. This will cause the browser to throw up an error about the SSL/TLS certificate being invalid because well...it is.
The problem lies with your mobile network provider. This often happens with PAYG or rolling contracts where the contract isn't paid for via a credit card. |

Looks like deleting your cache history might resolve the problem…don’t know how do that though.
I’ve also noticed that Google doesn’t list this site in the search results if I search fabswingers on it, this is when I’m on Wi-Fi. I have to type the website address into the address bar to get to the site. |

"It’s your provider intercepting adult content.
Nope.
If they block you won't get anywhere near the site let alone see an SSL issue.
"
The OP has already accessed the site via WiFi. This means their browser has cached the certificate for www.fabswingers.com.
If their mobile provider is restricting access to adult websites they will redirect "www.fabswingers.com" to "www.mobileprovider.com/Danger-Will-Robinson". Normally, this will show the mobile provider's "Prove you're over 18" page but because the browser suspects a TLS connection to the site is being hijacked it will show a warning message about the certificate not being valid for the target address. |

Thanks all, it does redirect me as a few of you suggest. I have been o to the 3 site, validated I'm over 18 with a credit card and switched off their filters. I've cleared cache and cookies and reduced filters but still no joy.
It isn't the end of the world, just irritating x |

All mobile companies had to introduce age validation on mobile accounts. Vodafone you have to validate online with credit card or visit shop. EE, online. Not sure about everyone else
