Same. I couldn't reach the forum for most of the day, be it at work or at home, on the phone or the laptop.0

It works for me when on Swisscom, but it never works when on Sunrise network, also claming a security risk.0

The OHSU (Oregon Health Sciences University) hospital complex free wifi won’t let me visit typedrawers. Again some generic notice (if you can get it, behind the scenes—I can see it in Firefox, but not Chrome) that they think it is dangerous.

It disappears for me for about a week at a time.0

Hoping this helps (Source):The website
