If you use a VPN service that allows you to select an apparent location outwith the EU I think you should find it works OK. I used NordVPN, and with my apparent location set to anywhere within the EU I get the lock-up problem, but as soon as I select an apparent location outwith the EU (i.e Canada) it works fine. I'm pretty sure that the rogue element, perhaps via a routine update, on the Trustarc thing that the forum is using is only blocking site access to some browsers for some users located within the EU. The odd thing is that it works fine on this old Windows 7 PC using Palemoon as the browser. No idea why.
