I've just tried to access the GRO via Safari then Chrome and finally via the more general .gov site and every time I've been blocked. Is anyone else suffering similarly?

I've just clicked on
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/c...ates/login.asp
without any problems.

I just tried your link and it also failed. It is being blocked because Safari and Chrome are both seeing it as a security threat and refuse to complete the connection"People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors.” Edmund Burke

Having the same problem accessing GRO .
Message says:
“The website has an Outdated security configuration which may allow an attacker to steal personal or financial information entered into the GRO website.”
Advises to close the page.

This link works for me too, and I'm using the latest version of Firefox (85.0) in Windows.
If you can get to that page, you might spot a note which is cunningly placed in the bottom of a red box headed 'Coronavirus', which says:

It's odd because I only ever use Safari and Chrome and I've managed to get in within the last week. Particularly galling right now because I need to see mothers' maiden names to unravel a very odd series of marriages by the same people.

I have just successfully logged on and done a search using Chrome
