Odd app issue

[bergclimber34]

OK, this is bugging me.

An app on my Android phone works on work Wifi, and on data, but never opens properly on home wifi!!

Anyone any ideas

[Pachydermus]

Not Garmin Connect by any chance, is it?

It won't open for me if I have "randomised mac" enabled in my wifi settings.

No it is just a dating app, bloody weird how it works with wifi in most places but not using my home wifi!!

It’s so your other half wont see it

HTH.

Its probably the DNS setting on your home router

A y idea how I might change tgat, I can get into the http 192 area but no idea what to change

Try forgetting the WiFi and reconnecting. Try rebooting the home router.

[bergclimber34]

Yes, have tried all that sadly.

Very odd,

Dating sites are often grouped with porn so far as adult filtering is considered,you probably have safe browsing enabled, either in Google itself,in your browser or possibly even in your router settings

Some internet contracts come with adult filtering options enabled, you might need to login to your suppliers website and turn them off? Or as above, there might be a setting on the router, go into settings and have a look around.

Good shout, I use a VPN at times. But the safe search is off, just don't know why this would apply to a phone only

[Condi]

VPN might well do it - the app will likely use your IP to help locate itself and some can only be used in certain countries, so if you're pretending to be from elsewhere then it might well not load correctly.

[bergclimber34]

I don't use it at home much, and only on a PC, again, no idea why that would affect a phone app when I don't use VPN toaccess the app,
