Hi
For the past 3 or 4 days, I have been unable to connect to Google Drive. I get this error
This site can’t provide a secure connection
drive.google.com sent an invalid response.
Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
Have tried 5 different PC/laps tops, running either Windows 10 or Linux. Tried Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox. All give this error. I can connect to other Google services though, only Google Drive gives this error ( i can connect to my Google Drive at work)
Cheers

A couple weeks ago I turned on "Telstra Broadband Protect" and with that I turned on "Parental Controls". I've just turned off the "Parental controls" ("Telstra Broadband Protect" - "Network Protection" is still ON) and I can now access "Google Drive". I'll investigate turning it back on and see if I can allow "Google Drive" to be accessed. Not sure why a) "Telstra Broadand Protect - Parental Controls" would block it and b) Why the error didint mention that Telstra was blocking it when I tried to access it.
But anyway, I can now access "Google Drive". Thanks Jazza and CF4 for the suggestions.

Re: Cant connect to Google Drive
The most common reason for this type off error is incorrect time or date on the PC. Check that the correct time zone is set in the modem. By default Time zone is sett to Network time zone but best to set to manual time zone.
If you have a Technicolor gateway go to Advanced > Gateway.
