New sky router blocks access to "insecure" sites

[Yevrah69]

I  have recently taken delivery of a new sky broadband router as my old one was obsolete. Since then I cannot get access to web sites that are insecure. IE those that do not have a padlock. There are many sites that I use that are like this (volunteering hubs etc). Can anuyone help?. Thanks

@Yevrah69 it should not be the hub as such which is blocking access but is a setting in the browser you use unless you have switched on the advanced security options that come as part of the Sky WiFi Max package which will probably do the same. Chrome allows you to switch off protection after giving you warnings and in Safari you can normally overide the warning.

Honestly in this day and age even amateur sites should be using https
