Web protection blocks BBC sites
Web protection blocks BBC sites
The Deco worked fine until I decided to install the 1 year free trial of Security+ or Homeshield, whatever it is branded.
BBC news and other links stopped working. I didn't notice any other issues. Errors included connection closed and certificate errors.
I connect via Vodafone UK broadband, and also via their phone network so I was able to isolate it to the Deco by switching off WiFi on my phone and the BBC sites became accessible.
I disabled the web protection, but it still didn't work. I then disabled all 3 systems, web protection, IoT and intrusion prevention. Access was then restored.
Previously I had an Asus router, and their system worked fine (was also free).
The web protection is useless to me if it causes web sites to reject my connection by its intrusive design.

I've also experienced similar issues.
I deactivated all the homeshield stuff, and still it didn't work.
A week later, I did avfull reboot of all the tp-link mesh network nodes, and suddenly I had access to BBC again.
Then a week later, it went back to not working again, despite all the homeshield stuff still being off.
What I do notice is that I can (and always have been able to) access BBC through firefox, so it's something to do with the way Chrome is making/authenticating connection I guess.
This is very frustrating, and suprised that it's taking so long for Tp-link to address this.

@spicyhotone I don't think it's as simple as just relating to Chrome, at least not for me. I have different things working on different devices. For example, iPlayer works on TVs but not on iphones. BBC web sites work on an iPhone but not on a laptop.
