Google Chrome and/or Virgin blocking VPN sites?

Hi all,

Was just going to download Windscribe and got this error when trying to access the URL:

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

I then saw that TCB are doing 95% Cashback on NordVPN, again, same error.

    I have an unproven theory that virgin block vpn sites alngside their blocking of adult sites as vpn's allow the unblocking of adult sites. If you have not permitted allowing access to adult sites on your virgin account but now do so you just may find that you get access to vpn sites as well. (edited)

    It appears to be something that was in the settings of VM.

    "Child safety" was enabled, I disabled and can now access VPN sites.. (edited)

    No issues with VPN sites on Virgin here.

    My mate said adult sites are fine too on Virgin.
