Not getting logon or terms page when I connect to a public wifi
When I connect to a public wifi I get connected to their network. However, the terms acceptance page won't load, which means I can't agree to terms, which means that I cannot get connected to the internet. There was no problem through Tuesday, 12/10/19, but starting on Wednesday the terms pages quit loading.

Does it help at all to go to an unsecured address you haven't visited before, such as
and let the wi-fi hotspot redirect from there?
That should avoid secure connection errors and also avoid any problems that could be caused by previously cached pages or old cookies.
I tried an unsecured address, but that didn't help (tried it at two different public wifi locations).
What do you get -- something like a site not found error, or connection timed out, or ??
My network status shows that I am connected to the network, but have no internet access.

I understand that part, but what do you get when you try to load a page in Firefox? Or in Microsoft Edge?
