    Hi motobojo,

     

    See here

     

    Currently this is still an open, known issue. However the suggested workaround from our engineers is to disable IPv6 on your device or on the modem to gain access to the page. I am not 100% sure on the reason, but I didn't know they changed their security protocols so this seems to line up if it's an IPv6 issue. I'll pass this information over to our engineers, though I believe they are already aware of the cause and were in the process of testing and rolling out a fix. Let me know if the IPv6 workaround doesn't help.

     

    Thanks,

    Amanda
