Ewen, I hope you are well these days.
As I attempted to access <https://speccie.uk/software/> this morning, I received a 403 error saying "Access is forbidden to the requested page".
My sincere hope is that this is a temporary anomaly, as your site is invaluable to Apple II users.

Hugh,

I am still here, and am alive and kicking...

Downdetector does show Zen Internet had some problems yesterday, but they sound more like local access to users in the UK, than with the Zen Internet servers themselves.
Let me know if it has persisted, or is now working again today...

It seems to be a Firefox problem. Both Edge and Opera access the site
with no problem. Firefox still gets a 403 error.

After changing the FireFox 110.0 useragent string to the one for Chrome, Ewen's site came up just fine.
P.S. - Ewen, I am most pleased to hear that you are well. I wish you continued good health.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:110.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/110.0
Changing the useragent in Firefox to make the rv:version match the Firefox/version appears to resolve the issue. As long as I can go to https://speccie.uk/software/ I am happy. I don't care about those other
sites trying (and failing) to detect IE11. To change the useragent string:

I can’t think why Zen Internet have a dislike to FireFox, and it is
nothing obviously I can do anything about anyway.
You could, I suppose, contact them and complain..., or at least ask
what the deal is.
It is fine on Safari on the Mac, which is often fussy about some sites, and is also fine on my iPhone, though that does report the site is not secure.

I raised the problem with my website service provider Zen, and got a quick response this morning. It seems to have resolved the problem for me, so can someone please confirm it has been resolved for you as well?
This is what Zen said:
"An update last week on Firefox we think triggered the server firewall protections our end and we pushed a fix out (which should now be in place for your account)”

Your site is now working for me with Firefox v110.0 64bit.

Thank you for having the website problem corrected for us. Like the
others have reported, I am able to access your site just fine in FireFox 110.0.
