Vodacom blocking access to ESA?
Posted: 2021-05-03 16:44:06
Just tried to login on my phone and couldn't, got redirected to some vodacom thing about unsafe access or something like that.
Anyways activated VPN on my phone and got straight through, so seems Vodacom may be restricting access? Anyone else?

I'm on Vodacom and browse the site in incognito mode. Seems to work fine for me.

It's a "safe browsing" setting that vodacom uses in order to try stop kids from seeing things they aren't supposed to. It's akin to the "safe browsing" option on many web browsers. All you do is go into any Vodafone shop with your ID to prove your over 18 and they will immediately unblock you. You can also try just giving them a call and answer a few questions - sometimes thats enough.
The bad news is that most of the time as far as I know someone would have had to activate that feature in the first place, so take a second and think when last you left your phone lying around for "wifey" to find.. :(
